Summary

Sheridan Elementary is a PK–5 school at 1412 Maryland Ave in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, serving 286 students in the Sheboygan Area School District. For ten straight years, it has earned a 1-star rating and ranked between the 11th and 14th percentile statewide—stable, but consistently near the bottom. In 2025–26, it placed 910th of 1,039 schools (12th percentile). Its students are high-need: 77.97% qualify for free/reduced lunch, and per-student spending is $16,533 with a small 10.8:1 student-teacher ratio.

Compared with nearby schools, Sheridan Elementary's most striking difference is chronic absenteeism: 31.5% in 2024–25, the highest in the area—about 1.5 times the district average, 1.8 times the state rate, and double its nine same-district peer elementaries. Demographically similar Cooper Elementary (71.88% FRL) has just 12.9% absenteeism and ranks 15th percentile; Wilson Elementary (70.76% FRL) has 7.8% and ranks 42nd. Sheridan spends near the top of its peer group with among the smallest classes, yet produces the second-lowest outcomes. Etude Elementary, 2.56 miles away, spends the least ($11,486) with the largest classes (16.8:1) but ranks 73rd percentile. Proficiency at Sheridan is far below district and state in every subject: roughly 27% in ELA and 31% in math, versus district averages of about 46% and 48%. Science (14.63% vs. 53.46% state) and social studies (31.71% vs. 65.51%) show the widest gaps.

Bright spots exist. Effectiveness with Hispanic students rose to the 43rd percentile (2 stars), well above the school's overall 12th percentile, and math proficiency narrowed from ~28% to ~31% while the district's math fell. But effectiveness with low-income students is in the bottom decile (8th percentile, 0 stars), likely anchoring the overall ranking. English Language Learners dropped from 3 stars to 1 star (25th percentile) in 2025–26, and the school is equally low for boys and girls. Three miles away, Kohler Elementary in the Kohler School District ranks 99th percentile with 2.9% absenteeism, but serves a very different population (0.89% FRL). A fair comparison is Longfellow Elementary (94% FRL, 21.0% absenteeism, 13th percentile). Note: the free/reduced lunch rate jumped from 58.96% to 77.97% in one year, likely a reporting change, and statewide proficiency standards shifted between 2022–23 and 2023–24, so some year-over-year comparisons need caution.
