SHERWOOD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Sherwood Elementary is a public elementary school that is part of the Montgomery County Public Schools school district, located in Sandy Spring, MD with about 493 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 5th Grade. With about 35 teachers, Sherwood Elementary has a student/teacher ratio of about 14:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Sherwood Elementary School, located in the historic Sandy Spring community of Montgomery County, Maryland, is a well-established public school serving students in pre-kindergarten through fifth grade. As part of the Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) system, it is known for its focus on providing a nurturing and inclusive environment that emphasizes both academic achievement and character development. The school benefits from its location in a tight-knit, semi-rural community, which often fosters strong parent involvement and a collaborative spirit between educators and families.

Academically, Sherwood Elementary follows the rigorous MCPS curriculum, offering a comprehensive array of core subjects supplemented by programs in art, music, and physical education. The school is dedicated to meeting the diverse needs of its student population through differentiated instruction and various support services. By promoting a culture of lifelong learning and community responsibility, Sherwood strives to prepare its students not only for the transition to middle school but also to be thoughtful, engaged citizens within the broader Montgomery County area.
