Don't waste your time. They do not care and will talk about your child. They also do not go by privacy guidelines.

Sheridan is a fantastic school! Dixie Coleman is a terrific leader that makes sure everyone feels welcomed and cared for. My son loves going to school everyday and I love sending him! He enjoys learning, we dont have a ton of homework, and discipline is fair and handled quickly. He is being set up for success in life and I couldnt be happier with this school.

We absolutely love this school. When we moved here I looked to great schools for some answers on schools, but its sad there isn't any updated reviews. This school is amazing. We moved from out of state where I didn't think we would find a school to even come close to where my daughter was for K-2nd, but Sheridan has exceeded my expectations. The small school feeling makes it more personal for the children. The teachers are very hands on with any questions you may have. The PTO is amazing with all that they supply for our children. Everyone in this school seems to want our children to succeed and grow with a great education. Love the principal. Can't wait for the school to get a little face lift this year to accommodate our kiddos even more because it's much deserved. This school district rocks. Not many districts provide a laptop for every student, but this one is so advanced in helping our children learn WITH technology. I could go on and on, but not sure if I'm allowed a certain number of characteristics lol. If you choose Sheridan I promise you won't be disappointed.

I have been having issues with the principal of this school all year. Any kind of communication comes as a flippant disrespectful response from Principal Coleman. If there was a lower rating I could give than one star I would! Parents watch out!

This school looks like a postcard perfect school but it isn't. My child has been routinely bullied and after notifying the principal about the issue I received a flagrant response of kids will be kids. Terrible principal leadership!

Sheridan is a Blue Ribbon school that teaches each and every child and serves the community in a positive, family-centered atmosphere!
