Sherman Elementary School

Sherman Elementary School serves 236 students in grades PK through 5 in Comfort, West Virginia. It earns a composite score of 9.0/10 — rated Exceptional — with a near-perfect academic score of 10.0/10 and a growth score of 8.2/10. Those numbers put Sherman at #26 out of 635 public schools statewide, outperforming 96% of West Virginia schools.

For families comparing options within the county, the distinction sharpens further: Sherman ranks #1 among all 12 schools in Boone County Schools. The student-teacher ratio of 10.3:1 is a concrete structural advantage. With roughly 10 students per teacher, individual attention is built into the daily experience — not an occasional exception.

Sherman is a regular public elementary school, meaning that ratio reflects its standard operating model, not a selective-enrollment arrangement. Among 407 elementary schools across West Virginia, Sherman holds the #25 spot — a ranking that reflects sustained academic strength and measurable year-over-year student growth. For parents weighing elementary options in the region, that position signals a school performing at the top of the state, not just the top of a single county.

The combination of high scores, strong growth, and small class sizes makes Sherman one of the most complete elementary programs in West Virginia.

Located in a rural area, Sherman Elementary School may involve longer commutes for some families. Rural schools often serve as community anchors and may have smaller class sizes, but parents should consider transportation logistics, after-school program availability, and access to specialized services.
