Summary

Sheridan Elementary is a public elementary school in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, serving 268 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Sheboygan Area School District, which is ranked 341 out of 426 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sheridan Elementary faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, well below average academic performance on the Forward Exam across all grade levels and subject areas, and a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high concentration of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. The school's performance varies significantly across different student groups, with English Language Learners performing relatively well but Special Education students ranking in the bottom 5% of Wisconsin elementary schools.

Interestingly, Sheridan Elementary's performance is generally lower than nearby schools within the Sheboygan Area School District, such as Etude Elementary, a public charter school that consistently outperforms Sheridan Elementary on academic measures. Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio and high per-student spending, Sheridan Elementary's academic outcomes remain significantly below the district and state averages, suggesting that addressing the school's challenges will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach.
