Sherwood Elementary

Summary:

Sherwood Elementary is a public elementary school in Houston, Texas, serving around 460 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Spring Branch Independent School District, which is ranked 318 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating.

Sherwood Elementary faces significant academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools. The school's performance on STAAR tests is significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, particularly in mathematics, where only 13.11% of 3rd graders and 38.96% of 5th graders were proficient or better in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's performance varies greatly across different student subgroups, with White and Gifted and Talented students performing relatively well, while African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, Special Education, and Economically Disadvantaged students struggle.

Despite spending around $11,900 per student, which is higher than the district and state averages, Sherwood Elementary has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 14-16 students per teacher. When compared to nearby schools like Rummel Creek Elementary and Wilchester Elementary, which serve more affluent and less racially diverse student populations, Sherwood Elementary consistently underperforms, suggesting the need for a closer examination of resource allocation and targeted interventions to address the disparities and improve outcomes for all students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
