Sheridan is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Western Placer Unified school district, located in Sheridan, CA with about 52 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 5th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 3 teachers, Sheridan has a student/teacher ratio of about 17:1.
