Summary

Sherman Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Toledo, Ohio, with 282 students enrolled. The school is part of the Toledo City School District, which is ranked 658 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sherman Elementary consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Ohio, with proficiency rates on state tests significantly below the Toledo City and Ohio state averages across all grade levels and subjects. The school also struggles with extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 38.9% to 56.3% in recent years, much higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, Sherman Elementary's performance is particularly concerning for its female, male, African American, and low-income students, who all perform well below their peers statewide.

Despite higher per-student spending than the district average, Sherman Elementary is not achieving commensurate results, indicating potential issues with how resources are being utilized. In comparison, other nearby schools in the Toledo City district, such as Riverside Elementary and Old West End Academy, demonstrate significantly better academic performance, suggesting that improvement is possible with the right strategies and support.
