Summary

Sherwood Middle School is a grades 6–8 school in Sherwood, Oregon, part of Sherwood School District 88J, and with 1,112 students it is the largest middle school in its nearby comparison group. For 2025–2026, Sherwood Middle School ranks 45th of 371 Oregon middle schools — the 88th percentile, or 4 stars — while its district ranks 5th of 141 districts statewide. That reflects a slight softening from the school's earlier profile: from 2014–2015 through 2018–2019 it held 5 stars and ranked in the 92nd–96th percentile, and since 2021–2022 it has remained at 4 stars in the 85th–89th percentile range. It is still a top-tier school statewide.

Test scores are strong. In 2025–2026, 60.6% of students were proficient in English language arts, 51.4% in math, and 43.1% in science, beating state rates by 16.8, 18.5, and 12.5 percentage points. Among nearby schools, only Lakeridge Middle School clearly outperforms Sherwood in all three subjects; Sherwood's scores are higher than every other nearby comprehensive middle school. Science is the relative weak spot — 43.1% versus the district's 47.7% — and eighth-grade math (47.9%) also trails the district slightly. ELA is remarkably even across grades 6, 7, and 8, all close to 60.6%.

Chronic absenteeism was 22.3% in 2024–2025, well below the state's 33.5% and second-lowest among nearby schools after Lakeridge. The school spends $15,868 per student — less than most nearby comprehensive middle schools — with a student-teacher ratio of 20.3. Free/reduced lunch enrollment is 21.58%, the second-lowest nearby, but it has nearly doubled from 11.54% two years earlier. Subgroup results are strong for Hispanic, gifted, and special education students, while low-socioeconomic-status results have swung widely (92nd, then 53rd, then 80th percentile). Overall, Sherwood Middle is a high-achieving, efficient school with science and low-SES performance as its main watch items.
