Sherwood High

Public Grades 9-12

Summary

Sherwood High is a public high school located in Creighton, Missouri, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 256 students. The school is part of the Sherwood Cass R-VIII school district, which is ranked 293 out of 386 districts in Missouri and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sherwood High has maintained a strong four-year graduation rate, ranging from 90.2% to 93.5% over the past few years, which is generally higher than the state average. However, the school has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19.4% to 23.6% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average. Sherwood High's performance on state assessments (MAP tests) has been mixed compared to the state and district averages, with lower proficiency rates in Algebra I and Biology I, but better performance in subjects like English II. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 34.63% to 38% in recent years, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

Compared to nearby high schools, such as Montrose High, Harrisonville High, and Adrian Senior High, Sherwood High generally performs at a lower level on state assessments and has higher chronic absenteeism rates. However, its graduation rates are comparable or even higher than some of the nearby schools. The school's fluctuating ranking and performance for different student subgroups suggest the need for continued improvement efforts to ensure all students at Sherwood High are receiving a high-quality education.
