Summary

Sheridan Intermediate School in Sheridan, AR, serves 585 students in grades 3 through 5 and is part of the highly-rated Sheridan School District, which ranks in the top 15% of Arkansas districts. The school has a moderate level of economic diversity, with about 42.7% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, and it has consistently earned a 3-star rating over the past six years, placing it in the 56th percentile statewide for the 2025-2026 school year.

Academically, Sheridan Intermediate shows a notable strength in Science, where 46.9% of students are proficient—outperforming the state average of 44% and coming close to the district average. However, Mathematics is a clear area for improvement, with only 41.5% of students proficient, which is below both the state average (44.1%) and the district average (45.3%). This math weakness is consistent across all grade levels, with 5th grade being a particular low point at 39.7% proficiency. The school also has a higher student-to-teacher ratio of 18.3:1 compared to nearby schools like East End Intermediate School (16:1) and Hardin Elementary School (12.7:1), and it spends less per student ($9,210) than many peers, such as East End Elementary School ($11,164).

An interesting comparison is with Poyen Elementary School, located just 13 miles away in the Poyen School District. Despite having a higher percentage of students on free/reduced lunch (52.2% vs. 42.7%), Poyen dramatically outperforms Sheridan in every subject, especially Math (62.8% vs. 41.5% proficient) and English Language Arts (52.8% vs. 41.1%). This suggests that economic factors alone don't determine outcomes and that Sheridan Intermediate could benefit from studying Poyen's instructional strategies. Additionally, schools in the lower-ranked White Hall School District, such as Gandy Elementary School and Hardin Elementary, outperform Sheridan in Math and Reading, indicating the school has room to grow to fully capitalize on its strong district foundation.
