Summary:
The Sherwood Cass R-VIII school district in Missouri consists of 3 schools: 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school. While Sherwood High School stands out with a high 4-year graduation rate of 92.1% and a relatively low dropout rate, the district as a whole faces challenges, including declining school performance and lower-than-average academic proficiency rates, particularly in the middle and high school grades.
Sherwood Elementary School has shown some improvement, moving from a 1-star to a 2-star rating on SchoolDigger, and its 4th-grade math proficiency rate is slightly higher than the state average. However, Sherwood Middle School has lower-than-average proficiency rates in math and English language arts, and Sherwood High School also struggles with below-average proficiency rates in Algebra I and Biology I.
Across the district, there are concerns about equity, as a significant percentage of students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, and the chronic absenteeism rate is higher than the state average. The district's spending per student and student-teacher ratios are in line with state averages, but the overall academic performance suggests that the schools in the Sherwood Cass R-VIII district need to address these challenges to provide a high-quality education for all students.
