(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - For the past thirteen years, someone in my family-niece, nephew, sons-has attended this school at some point. They excel in parent/ teacher communication and involvement. The principal exudes leadership and goes above & beyond what is expected. All teachers exemplify what it "takes" to be a good teacher-quality instruction while uplifting and encouraging each and every student. The school is always neat in appearance, and they have taken the right precautions (in these days and times) to ensure that all children are safe. There are positive educators & staff, involved parents, happy children-everyone loves this school, and it shows. Sherwood ROCKS!
