Sherman High School

Summary:

Sherman High School is a public high school located in Sherman, New York, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 198 students. The school is part of the Sherman Central School District, which is ranked 378 out of 866 school districts in New York and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sherman High School has consistently high academic performance, with four-year graduation rates ranging from 90.6% to 96.1% over the past five years, outperforming the state average. The school's students also perform well on state assessments and Regents exams, often exceeding the state and district averages. For example, in 2022-2023, the school had 91.67% proficiency in Regents Algebra II, compared to the state average of 64.13%. However, the school has a significant population of low-socioeconomic status students, with 47.47% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average.

When compared to nearby high schools, such as Chautauqua Lake Secondary School and Panama High School, Sherman High School generally outperforms them in areas like graduation rates and test scores. However, the school's student population is overwhelmingly white (95.96%), which is not representative of the racial diversity seen in many other New York high schools. This may indicate a need to explore ways to attract and support a more diverse student body. Additionally, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 28.9% in 2022-2023 to 41.7% in 2021-2022, which is an area of concern that the school should address.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
