Sherrod Elementary School

"This School has by far given me the worst experience of my life. First day of enrollment was much unorganized and poorly planned. That should have been the red flag for me before witnessing and experiencing the worst feeling a parent could ever feel. On the day of school as well as enrollment, I made it very clear to the teacher that my children where to stay at school for the after school program YMCA. I get a phone call from the YMCA saying that my children were not in care. I called the school to get validation, sadly there was none. I had to leave work from Irving and rush to the school in Arlington to find out that my kids were missing and NO ONE knew where they were. It took the school an hour to find my children along with other missing kids as well. Now I receive a phone call from the school now saying the lost a copy of my children’s shot records. HOW IS A SCHOOL THIS UNORGINIZED? The only reason I will not remove my children from this school is because I see progress in my children. We are a military family and constantly moving around and switching schools. I don’t want to remove my children because simple adults lack the responsibility to do their job. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS SCHOOL TO ANY PARENT."

"My son who now is in highschool went here from pre K to 6 grade such a wonderful school he learned so much there.. I also have a daughter who goes here from pre k to4th and she loves coming to school here they are so helpful when your child needs help with anything and they go out their way to keep the parents informed on everything you child does.. The have a lot of great teachers"

"All my childhood memories came from this great school, Sherrod Elementary School. The faculty is outstanding and the school is well-kept and comfortable. Although the students are not as well behaved as ten years ago, don't forget that the teaching is what matters most, and Sherrod's staff gets it done!"

"I think principal Matt Vanell is doing a very good job of making the parents a part of the education experience. I really enjoyed seeing his hands on approach when he whipped out his trumpet and joined the band at a school function. He is always in a good mood, and quick to ask if the parent needs anything. I feel confident leaving my prize possession, my little girl under his care on school days."
