Sherwood Cass R-VIII

Summary:

The Sherwood Cass R-VIII school district in Missouri operates three schools: Sherwood Elementary, Sherwood High, and Sherwood Middle. The district serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the relatively high free/reduced lunch rates across all three schools.

Sherwood High stands out with the highest 4-year graduation rate and the lowest dropout rate in the district, but its test scores, particularly in Algebra I and Biology I, are below the district and state averages. In contrast, Sherwood Elementary has the highest student enrollment and the highest 4th-grade English Language Arts proficiency rate, but its overall math proficiency rates are significantly below the state average.

Across the district, there are several areas of concern, including declining high school performance, persistent underachievement in math, and high chronic absenteeism rates. Addressing these issues will likely require a multifaceted approach that considers the unique needs and challenges of the district's student population.
