Most rating sites report "36% proficient" for Sherwood Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
12.3% of students exceeded standard while 23.4% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 8.6 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's 2.6 points below the Sylvan Union Elementary district average of 14.9%. Nearby schools (within ~3 miles) average 14.0% exceeded — about the same. The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.

Chronic absenteeism is 13.1%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
