Sherrouse School faces several challenges, including high dropout rates ranging from 1.9% to 8.7%, much higher than the state average. The school also experiences chronic absenteeism rates of 16.7% to 25.1%, well above the state and district averages. Academically, Sherrouse School's LEAP test scores are significantly lower than the state and district, with projected proficiency rates of only 5-22% in core subjects, compared to 50-70% for the district and state.

In comparison, another local alternative school, Southside Alternative High School, appears to have better performance metrics, including a higher four-year graduation rate of 83.2% and a lower dropout rate of 3.3%. Southside Alternative also has a lower student-teacher ratio, which may contribute to its relatively stronger academic outcomes. The challenges faced by Sherrouse School suggest the need for targeted interventions and additional support to address the unique needs of its student population and improve overall student success.
