Across the district, the student population is relatively homogeneous, with over 90% of students identifying as white. Test scores at Sherwood Elementary and Sherwood Middle are generally lower than the state averages, indicating room for improvement in academic achievement. Additionally, the high rates of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (ranging from 35.16% to 45.57%) suggest the district may need to consider the impact of socioeconomic factors on student learning and provide additional support or resources to address any disparities.
