Top rankedSherwood Middle392^nd of 438 Missouri middle schools

Summary:

The 64739 zip code is home to a single middle school, Sherwood Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 and is part of the Sherwood Cass R-VIII district. This school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 233 out of 459 Missouri middle schools in 2022-2023 to 392 out of 438 in 2024-2025, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sherwood Middle School's academic performance is a significant concern, with student proficiency on state assessments (MAP tests) falling well below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For instance, in 2024-2025, only 19.5% of 6th graders were proficient or better in Math, compared to the state average of 45.5%. The school also faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.8% for the 2023-2024 school year.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $10,464 for the 2021-2022 school year and a student-teacher ratio of 14.6 for 2023-2024, these resources do not appear to be translating into better academic outcomes. The school serves a socioeconomically disadvantaged population, with 40.88% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024. Overall, Sherwood Middle School's performance indicates a need for targeted interventions and support to improve student learning and engagement.
