Summary

Sherman Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 233 students in grades PK-6 in the Sherman Central School District in New York. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, is generally on par with or slightly below the state average across grades and subjects, with some stronger performance in science. However, the school's overall statewide ranking has fluctuated between 478 and 1,121 out of around 2,400 New York elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a current ranking of 1,004 and a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Sinclairville Elementary School and Bemus Point Elementary School, which generally outperform Sherman Elementary in academic proficiency, the school has room for improvement, particularly in certain student subgroups. While male students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds have 3-star ratings, female students and special education students have lower 2-star and 1-star ratings, respectively, indicating a need to address the unique needs of these groups.

Despite these challenges, Sherman Elementary School has seen a significant increase in per-student spending, from $13,103 in 2020-2021 to $25,219 in 2023-2024, and an improvement in its student-teacher ratio, from 10.7 in 2021-2022 to 8.6 in 2023-2024. With continued focus on addressing the needs of all students and building on its strengths, the school has the potential to improve its overall performance and ranking over time.
