The kids are being pulled out for various 'enrichment' activities leaving little time for teachers to provide 'quality' instruction. Assignments are rarely returned so it is hard to gauge how well my child is doing. The present administrator is a tyro with little classroom experience.
Sherman's focus on academic excellance combined with the outstanding parent involvement which, by extension, funds an incredible range of enrichment classes, makes this an incredible choice of a k-5 school. Sherman was our first choice alongside a number of private options. It came down to the final days of summer when our son got in on the wait list. We ended up passing on the private backup and went with Sherman, thankfully. He loves his school. The gifted teachers, staff and parents seem completely devoted to making this public school work really well. The school is large (3 kinder classes) but it's a joy and a blessing to be there and the peformance reflects the effort. There are only a handful of other publics we would have considered for our son--we're thrilled to have waited for and got Sherman.
We are so happy we got into Sherman! My daughter is in Kindergarten so we've only been there a short time but already, we have met a welcoming parent committee, and could be happier with the curriculum. We were going the private route but when I toured Sherman, reality set in and, frankly, found a better value going to Sherman. they have an art studio with a full time art teacher, chorus, gymnastics tought by a professional gymnastics teacher, computer, library with a full time librarian, PE, gardening with a full time garden teacher and a full time nutritionist which carefully screens the meals served at school. Overall we are over joyed to have found such a school.
