Summary

Sherwood Elementary is a mid-sized PK-5 school in Houston, TX, serving 437 students within the Spring Branch Independent School District (Isd), a 4-star district. The school has historically performed in the lower-middle tier of Texas elementary schools, earning a 2-star rating and ranking in the 38th to 49th percentile over the past five years, while serving a predominantly low-income population with 61.1% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.

The most striking feature of Sherwood is its exceptional performance with Gifted and Talented (GT) students, who ranked in the 94th percentile statewide in 2025-2026—a stark contrast to the school's overall 40th percentile ranking. This suggests a highly effective targeted program for its GT population, but raises questions about whether resources are concentrated on a select group while the majority of students struggle. The school's most critical weakness is in Mathematics, where 5th-grade proficiency rates are just 23.88%, nearly 38 percentage points behind the district average of 61.54%. This math gap is far wider than the reading gap and shows significant year-to-year volatility, with 5th-grade math plummeting from 41.54% to 23.88% in one year.

Geographically, Sherwood is surrounded by two of the highest-performing elementary schools in the state: Wilchester Elementary (ranked #22, 100th percentile) and Rummel Creek Elementary (ranked #54, 99th percentile), both less than 2 miles away. This creates a dramatic microcosm of educational inequality within a small geographic area. However, Sherwood is not the lowest-performing school in its vicinity—schools like Woodview Elementary (19th percentile) and Westwood Elementary (23rd percentile) rank lower. Notably, Pine Shadows Elementary (61st percentile) serves a similar demographic profile but achieves significantly better outcomes, demonstrating that poverty is not destiny. A bright spot is the Special Education program, which jumped from the 18th percentile to the 59th percentile in two years, indicating a potential turnaround for this subgroup.
