Summary

Sherrod Elementary in Arlington, TX, serves 475 students from Pre-K through 6th grade within the Arlington Independent School District (Isd), and it has historically faced significant academic challenges, with a very high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. While the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 15% of Texas elementary schools over the past decade, there is a recent and encouraging upward trend, with its state percentile rank improving from a low of 2% in 2022-2023 to 13% in 2025-2026, suggesting that recent interventions may be starting to take effect.

The most striking contrast is between Sherrod and Butler Elementary, located just over a mile away. While Sherrod ranks in the 13th percentile, Butler ranks in the 88th percentile, with proficiency rates two to three times higher in every subject and grade. For example, in 5th Grade Reading, Butler scored 68.89% proficient compared to Sherrod’s 43.1%. This stark disparity highlights a significant achievement gap that is closely tied to the socioeconomic differences between the two student populations. Sherrod also faces a systemic weakness in science instruction, with only 4.44% of 5th graders proficient in science in 2024-2025, a challenge shared by other high-poverty schools in the area like Peach Elementary (1.14%) and Webb Elementary (2.17%).

Despite these challenges, Sherrod has notable strengths. The school has a very favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 11.5:1, which is lower than many nearby schools, including high-performing Viridian Elementary (17.6:1). Additionally, Sherrod shows surprisingly strong performance with its Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) students, who ranked in the 52nd and 65th percentiles statewide, respectively, in 2025-2026. This suggests that the school may have effective programs for these specific populations, providing a valuable foundation to build upon as it continues its recent trajectory of improvement.

Parents who complain need to get involved. I see very few parents who actually take the time to volunteer or interact with the school employees. It makes me so frustrated that any parent would give this school a negative rating. Instead of complaining get involved whether it's volunteering or simply showing up to your child's school functions. Many parents here don't work but don't find the time to support this school and yet find the time to complain. Close Quote

my child told a counslor that she was being bullied and she did nothing about it she just sent her back to class. She finally had a fight with her and she got a suspension. She also told me the teachets treat het bad. Yes i am very angry they call me when she talks in class and give her two hrs of detention and wouldn't do anything about her being bullied now she wants to commit suicide. I HAVE A VERY BIG PROBLEM WITH THIS. Yes i have brougjt this to their attention but yet still nothing has been done they treat her like an outcadt and im not going to stand for it even if i have to get NBC 5 Involved. Close Quote
