DONALD D SHERRILL EDUCATION CNTR - ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

DONALD D SHERRILL EDUCATION CNTR - ELEM is a public elementary school that is part of the LINCOLN PUBLIC SCHOOLS school district, located in LINCOLN, NE offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 5th Grade.

The Donald D. Sherrill Education Center, located in Lincoln, Nebraska, functions as a specialized educational facility within the Lincoln Public Schools district. Unlike a traditional neighborhood elementary school, Sherrill is a therapeutic and alternative placement center designed to support students who require specialized academic, behavioral, and social-emotional interventions. The school focuses on providing a highly structured environment where students can develop the skills necessary to succeed, with the ultimate goal of transitioning them back to their home schools whenever possible.

The center is known for its small class sizes and a high ratio of support staff, including teachers, paraeducators, and mental health professionals who work collaboratively to address the unique needs of each child. The curriculum is aligned with district standards but is delivered through individualized education programs (IEPs) or behavior intervention plans tailored to help students manage emotional challenges and improve their classroom engagement. By prioritizing a supportive and trauma-informed approach, the Donald D. Sherrill Education Center plays a critical role in the district’s efforts to ensure that students with significant behavioral or emotional barriers have equitable access to a quality education.
