Summary:
The city of Sherrard, Illinois is home to three schools serving students from elementary through high school: Sherrard High School, Sherrard Elementary School, and Sherrard Junior High School. These schools are part of the Sherrard CUSD 200 district.
Sherrard High School stands out as a strong performer, ranking in the top half of Illinois high schools for the past three years and maintaining a high 4-year graduation rate of 93.5%. However, the school's performance on state assessments in math and English language arts is below the state average. In contrast, Sherrard Junior High School demonstrates stronger performance in English language arts compared to mathematics, outperforming the district and state averages in science assessments.
Across the district, there are concerns about declining academic performance, particularly at the elementary and middle school levels. Sherrard Elementary School has seen fluctuations in its test scores, and Sherrard Junior High School has experienced a drop in its mathematics proficiency rates. Additionally, the relatively high free and reduced-price lunch rates across all three schools suggest that the district may be serving a population with significant economic disadvantages, which could impact academic outcomes.
