Sherman Elementary

Summary:

Sherman Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with 281 students and a student-teacher ratio of 14.1. The school is part of the Milwaukee School District, which is ranked 417 out of 428 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Sherman Elementary has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Wisconsin, ranking between 1007 and 1073 out of over 1,000 schools in the state over the past decade.

Sherman Elementary significantly underperforms compared to the Milwaukee School District and the state of Wisconsin on standardized test scores, with proficiency rates ranging from 4.17% to 20% in English Language Arts and 0% in Mathematics across all grade levels. The school also has extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 41% to 78.2% over the past five school years, and dropout rates ranging from 0% to 3.2%, which are higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, Sherman Elementary has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 92.98% to 98.01% over the past three years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Milwaukee School District, such as Fifty-Third Street Elementary, Townsend Street Elementary, and Metcalfe Elementary, also perform poorly on academic metrics and have high rates of chronic absenteeism and free/reduced lunch eligibility, suggesting that the challenges faced by Sherman Elementary are not unique but are systemic issues within the district. However, one nearby school, Milwaukee French Immersion, performs significantly better than Sherman Elementary and the district average on academic measures, indicating that a focused, high-quality educational program can produce better outcomes even within the Milwaukee School District.

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.
