of 1,560 Ohio Elementary Schools

Better than 95% of Ohio elementary schools

Summary

Sherwood Elementary School is a PK–6 school serving 689 students at 7080 Grantham Way in Cincinnati, Ohio, and is the largest of the six elementary schools in the Forest Hills Local district. It ranks in the top ~5% of Ohio elementary schools and has held a 5-star rating and a 93rd-percentile-or-better state ranking for six consecutive years, up from the 85th–88th percentile a decade ago. The district itself ranks 45th of 773 Ohio districts.

In 2025–2026, Sherwood students exceeded Ohio's proficiency rate in all ten tested grade/subject combinations, usually by 20 to 33 points. Within its own district cluster, it leads on 5th-grade science (95.5), 5th-grade ELA (100) and 4th-grade ELA (92.1), finishing second overall of six behind Wilson Elementary School and ahead of Ayer Elementary School, Mercer Elementary School, Maddux Elementary School and Summit Elementary School. Chronic absenteeism is 6.5%, roughly half the district's 12.2% and far below nearby schools such as Withamsville-Tobasco Elementary School (12.7%) and Summerside Elementary (20.9%). Students from low-income families rank at the 93rd percentile statewide — just two points below the school overall — and boys and girls perform at nearly identical levels.

The clearest areas to watch are in math: 3rd-grade math fell to 79.2 this year, below the district's 85.9, and 5th-grade math sits at 79.1 versus 85.5 district-wide. Sherwood produces these results with the lowest per-student spending in its cluster ($9,883 in 2018–19, which may not reflect current funding), the largest enrollment and the highest student-teacher ratio (18.8). District lines matter here: Mt. Washington School, 1.5 miles away in Cincinnati Public Schools, ranks at the 22nd percentile with 40.7% chronic absenteeism, while Clough Pike Elementary School in West Clermont Local reaches the 72nd percentile and Sands Montessori School the 73rd — well below Sherwood.
