Summary:
The Sherman Independent School District (ISD) in Texas is home to two middle schools, Piner Middle and Sherman Middle, both serving grades 6-8. While Piner Middle stands out as the higher-performing school, the district as a whole faces challenges in providing quality education, particularly for its economically disadvantaged and diverse student populations.
Piner Middle consistently outperforms Sherman Middle on STAAR assessments, with significantly higher proficiency rates in reading and Algebra I. In contrast, Sherman Middle has lower proficiency rates across most subject areas and grade levels compared to both Piner Middle and the district and state averages.
The Sherman Independent School District as a whole is ranked 792 out of 968 in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, suggesting that the district may be underperforming compared to other districts in the state. This could be due to the high percentages of economically disadvantaged students at both Piner Middle and Sherman Middle, which exceed 70% and 80%, respectively. Addressing the needs of these diverse student populations and ensuring equitable educational opportunities may be crucial for improving the district's overall performance.
