Sherburn Elementary is part of the Martin County West School District, which is ranked 268 out of 446 school districts in Minnesota and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sherburn Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 314 out of 824 Minnesota elementary schools in 2012-2013 (3-star rating) to 532 out of 814 in 2010-2011 (2-star rating). This suggests that the school may be facing some challenges in maintaining its academic performance compared to other elementary schools in the state.
