Sherman ISD Posted the Lowest District Score in the Area, and No Campus Earned an A

Sherman ISD earned a C in the Texas Education Agency's 2026 accountability ratings with an overall score of 73, the lowest district score among the districts serving our coverage area.

No Sherman ISD campus earned an A.

The campus picture

Of 13 rated campuses, four earned a B, six earned a C, two earned a D and one earned an F.

Jefferson Learning Center led the district at 89, followed by Dillingham Elementary at 84 and Piner Middle School at 82.

Crutchfield Elementary received an F with a score of 52. Fairview Elementary and the Perrin Early Childhood Center each scored 65, both D ratings.

Unusually flat domains

Most districts show variation across the four accountability domains. Sherman's are nearly identical: student achievement 73, school progress 73, academic growth 73, closing the gaps 72.

That flatness is itself informative. A district with a low achievement score but a strong growth score is improving from a difficult starting point. A district with matching scores across all four is performing consistently at the level the overall grade describes.

Size and context

Sherman ISD enrolls 7,452 students across 16 schools, in a city in the middle of the largest economic expansion in its modern history, driven by semiconductor investment that has reshaped the local job market.

That expansion brings enrollment, and enrollment brings pressure on exactly the campuses this report identifies as struggling. Campus-level results for every school are published at TXSchools.gov.
