Summary:

Sherwood Charter School is a public charter elementary school serving grades K-8 in Sherwood, Oregon, part of the highly-ranked Sherwood School District 88J. This exemplary institution consistently outperforms state and district averages in academic proficiency, ranking among the top 15% of elementary schools in Oregon.

Sherwood Charter School's academic performance is exceptional, with 82.6% of 7th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 67.9% in the district and 43.2% statewide. The school's male and white students perform particularly well, ranking 33rd and 118th out of their respective peer groups in Oregon.

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.

Open Quote I have two kids in their third year at SCS and we love it. The curriculum is excellent and the teachers seem to know every student regardless of grade. The entire staff works together so well at addressing the needs of each student. Close Quote

Open Quote Unfortunately it's gone downhill with academic standards and parent morale. It once was a great community of families, students and teachers. Dissatisfied with leadership. Close Quote

Open Quote Great public school that is as demanding as a private school. Intellectually curious children who like to be challenged will thrive here. Excellent parent support and great staff. Close Quote

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.
