Summary
Sherwood Charter School is a K–8 public charter school in Sherwood, Oregon, serving 222 students within the highly rated Sherwood School District 88J, which ranks 5th out of 141 Oregon districts. It is smaller than most nearby elementary schools and offers continuity through middle school, a useful distinction because many same-district peers serve only K–5.
Statewide, Sherwood Charter ranked 96th out of 709 elementary schools in 2025–2026, placing in the 86th percentile with 4 stars; it has been a steady 4-star school in the mid-to-high 80s for recent years, after earlier 5-star peaks. All-grade proficiency is 62.7% in English Language Arts, 50.0% in math, and 55.6% in science. ELA and science are above the district and state, while math is above state but below district. Grade-level results are uneven: 7th-grade math is a clear concern at 27.8, below the district’s 53.3 and the state’s 33.3, while 3rd-grade math (77.3), 5th-grade ELA (76.0), and 8th-grade science (61.9 vs. 44.1 district and 27.7 state) are standout strengths. Among nearby schools, Ridges Elementary School, Archer Glen Elementary School, and Middleton Elementary School generally rank higher, while Sherwood Charter School sits above Hawks View Elementary School and most other nearby schools.
Chronic absenteeism has improved dramatically, from 35.9% in 2022–2023 to 17.1% in 2024–2025, now better than both district and state averages. That 17.1% is lower than Hawks View Elementary School (19.3%), Lowrie Primary School (21.0%), Deer Creek Elementary School (25.4%), and Tualatin Elementary School (28.5%), but higher than Middleton Elementary School (13.2%), Ridges Elementary School (12.9%), and Archer Glen Elementary School (15.4%). Reported per-student spending is $5,901, far below same-district peers such as Middleton ($19,573), Ridges ($16,259), and Archer Glen ($18,467); only MITCH, another charter-like school, reports lower at $4,843. The student–teacher ratio is 17.0, and enrollment of 222 is smaller than most nearby elementaries. Overall, Sherwood Charter offers strong ELA and science outcomes, improving attendance, and a K–8 setting, with math—especially in 7th grade—as the main area to watch.
