The Sherwood School District is proud to serve the students and families of the Sherwood community.  The District has four elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school.  Sherwood Schools offer excellent programs and opportunities for academic and extracurricular interests, including:

  • High school graduation rates are among the top in the State of Oregon, with a graduation rate of 94% for the class of 2022.
  • Robust CTE/STEM offerings, including construction, metal shop, welding, culinary arts, business, computer science, and agricultural science
  • Rich arts, music and athletic programs
  • Dual-credit program that offers simultaneous college credits at a reduced rate for students enrolled in eligible high school courses — Sherwood students earned 7,071 college credits in the 2021-22 school year
  • A Dual Language Immersion program at Hawks View Elementary
  • Pre-Kindergarten offerings at Hawks View Elementary, Ridges Elementary, and Middleton Elementary

In the fall of 2020, the new Sherwood High School campus opened, a 73-acre campus providing students with state-of-the-art academic, STEM, art, trade education, and athletics facilities, and designed to increase student capacity at the high school level for years to come. Additional facilities projects in recent years have increased enrollment capacity at all levels, and brought increased efficiency and innovation to our support services and operations district-wide. 

In addition to excellent facilities, the District is one of the largest employers in the City of Sherwood, with approximately 600 teachers and staff members committed to serving the needs of Sherwood students and families. Whether it’s in the classroom, on a school bus, in the lunchroom or behind the scenes, the supportive and hardworking staff of the District contribute each and every day to the success of our students and schools.

Many Sherwood business leaders and community members regularly volunteer in the District and participate in District-sponsored events to help guarantee the success and development of our youth.  With the strong support of the community for academics, athletics, and performance arts, Sherwood has not only become a destination city for families, but also a destination district for staff, attracting the best and brightest who share a commitment to student achievement and quality education, and wish to serve in our wonderful community.
