Summary

Sheridan Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 393 students in Orange Cove, part of the Kings Canyon Joint Unified School District, and has shown significant improvement over the past decade despite serving a community with high economic need.

The school has notable strengths, including very low chronic absenteeism—much better than the state average—and it performs particularly well in supporting its English Learner students and in upper-grade English Language Arts. However, test scores can vary from year to year, and there is a consistent gap where girls outperform boys. Science is an area where Sheridan, along with other local schools like McCord Elementary and A. L. Conner Elementary, struggles to reach state averages. Compared to other schools in the district, such as the higher-performing Silas Bartsch, Sheridan achieves its results with slightly lower per-student spending.

When looking at nearby schools in other districts, like Palm Elementary in the Cutler-Orosi Joint Unified district, Sheridan has room to grow, especially in math. The three elementary schools in Orange Cove form a distinct group with similar challenges and strengths, suggesting community-wide factors are at play. For parents, Sheridan represents a school that is effectively supporting student attendance and literacy but is working to improve consistency and close achievement gaps in specific subjects.
