Summary

Sherrard Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 236 students in grades K-4 in Sherrard, Illinois, which is part of the Sherrard CUSD 200 district.

Academically, Sherrard Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to the state averages and the Sherrard CUSD 200 district. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 40.7% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 47.3% for the district and 53.1% for the state. In Mathematics, 44% of Sherrard Elementary students were proficient or better, compared to 33.4% for the district and 38.5% for the state. This academic performance has been declining over the years. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with female students, white students, and low socioeconomic status students performing particularly poorly.

Additionally, Sherrard Elementary School has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 8.3% in the 2020-2021 school year to 25.4% in the 2024-2025 school year. Despite an increase in per-student spending and a decrease in the student-teacher ratio, the school's academic performance has not shown corresponding improvements, suggesting that simply increasing resources may not be enough to address the school's challenges. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive approach focused on improving instructional practices, supporting struggling students, and addressing the underlying factors contributing to the school's performance challenges.
