Sherwood Elementary exceeded its academic growth expectations for the 2025-2026 year, improved math proficiency by 22.7 percentage points, and improved our school performance score by 20 points. This means we are moving in the right direction toward higher academic achievement!

Sherwood Elementary is an Innovation School in Gaston County Schools with a focus on using clear strategies and strong purpose to boost student success. Students receive extra instructional support, and teachers take on advanced roles to help students achieve at a higher level.

Thanks to our partnership with Kintegra Health, we offer a telehealth clinic here at our school. Students, who are experiencing a minor illness or condition, can be seen by a medical provider virtually. This allows us to provide care for students without them having to leave school to go to the doctor.
