The school is part of the Lincoln Public Schools district, which is ranked 95 out of 115 districts in Nebraska and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sheridan Elementary School has consistently performed well in the state, ranking among the top 20-30 elementary schools in Nebraska over the past several years. The school has maintained a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade, indicating excellent academic performance and student outcomes. In the 2024-2025 school year, Sheridan Elementary School had significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to the Lincoln Public Schools district and the state of Nebraska.

While Sheridan Elementary School excels in overall academic performance, the school's data shows some disparities in student subgroup outcomes. The school has consistently high rankings for female and white student subgroups, but the performance for low socioeconomic status (SES) students is more mixed. Additionally, Sheridan Elementary School has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, which may impact student learning and achievement. The school's higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio suggest that it is allocating resources effectively to support student success.
