Summary:
ZIP code 97140 has just one high school, Sherwood High School, which serves grades 9–12 with 1,668 students and belongs to Sherwood School District 88J. Because it is the only high school in the area, there is nothing to compare it against locally — but it can be measured against its district and the state of Oregon.
The school's clearest strengths are completion and science. Its graduation rate is 96.7%, matching the district and far above Oregon's 83.0%. Science proficiency is 44.4% — well above the state's 11th-grade rate of 33.8% and the all-grades rate of 30.6%. Math is also ahead of the state's 11th-grade rate (26.8% vs 22.9%), though still low in absolute terms. Chronic absenteeism is 30.6%, better than the state's 33.5% but worse than the district's 22.2%. The district itself enjoys a strong reputation, ranking 5th out of 141 Oregon districts (96th percentile, 5 stars), even though the high school's own recent results are more middling.
That gap shows up in the school's statewide ranking. Sherwood High sits at 101st out of 271 Oregon high schools in 2025–2026 — the 63rd percentile with 3 stars — down sharply from 33rd out of 268, the 88th percentile with 4 stars, in 2023–2024. The last two years have stabilized around the 63rd percentile. English Language Arts is the weakest comparative subject at 38.8%, below the state's 11th-grade rate of 46.0%. Resource figures include 19.18% free/reduced-price lunch, $16,609 in per-student spending, and a 22.6 student-teacher ratio, but the data set offers no state or district averages for these, so it is not possible to say whether they are high, low, or typical.
