Summary

Sherwood Elementary is a public elementary school located in Arnold, Missouri, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 347 students. The school is part of the Fox C-6 School District, which is ranked 51 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sherwood Elementary consistently ranks in the top 25% of Missouri elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 148-321 out of around 900 schools over the past 5 years. The school's performance on MAP (Missouri Assessment Program) tests is particularly strong, with students outperforming the state and district averages in both Mathematics and English Language Arts across multiple grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 66% of 3rd graders, 71.6% of 4th graders, and 55.1% of 5th graders at Sherwood Elementary scored proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 41.4%, 43.8%, and 38.2%, respectively. Sherwood Elementary also excels in serving special education and low socioeconomic status (SES) students, ranking in the top 15% and top 5% of Missouri elementary schools, respectively, in these subgroups.

While Sherwood Elementary generally outperforms the nearby schools in the Fox C-6 district, such as Rockport Heights Elementary and Raymond Nancy Hodge Elementary, in terms of academic achievement on MAP tests, Seckman Elementary and Lone Dell Elementary demonstrate stronger performance in certain grade levels and subject areas compared to Sherwood Elementary. This suggests that while Sherwood Elementary is a high-performing school within the district, there may be opportunities to learn from the instructional practices and strategies of the top-performing schools in the area.
