Summary:
The Sherman Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates 9 elementary schools serving grades Pre-K through 5th, with student populations ranging from 159 to 834. The district as a whole is ranked 813 out of 961 school districts in Texas and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.
Among the standout schools in the district, Fairview Elementary ranks the highest at 1,721 out of 4,651 Texas elementary schools, with the highest proficiency rates on STAAR tests and a low student-teacher ratio of 9.9. Henry W. Sory Elementary is the second-highest ranked school in the district, performing above the district and state averages on STAAR tests and maintaining a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
The data reveals significant performance gaps between the highest-performing and lowest-performing schools within the district, as well as between the district and state averages. This suggests opportunities for the district to implement targeted interventions and support to improve overall student outcomes. Additionally, the wide range in free/reduced lunch rates across the schools indicates that socioeconomic factors may play a significant role in student performance, and the district may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation to ensure equitable distribution of funding and staffing across all schools.
