About Sherwood Elementary School
Nestled among the beautiful redwoods of Mendocino County, Sherwood Elementary School offers a unique educational experience where students are known, valued, and supported every day. As Willits Unified School District's necessary small school, Sherwood provides a close-knit learning environment that fosters strong relationships, individualized attention, and a true sense of belonging.
At Sherwood, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to reach their fullest potential. Our dedicated staff is committed to providing a high-quality education in a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment where students are encouraged to grow academically, socially, and emotionally. Our small class sizes allow teachers to build meaningful connections with students while delivering engaging, personalized instruction that inspires curiosity and confidence.
Sherwood is more than a school—it's a family. We value the partnerships we share with our families and community and believe that learning is strengthened when we work together. Through collaboration, hands-on learning, outdoor experiences, and a caring school culture, we help students develop the skills, character, and resilience they need for lifelong success.
Guided by our vision of creating a community where all children feel loved, respected, and encouraged to develop to their fullest potential, Sherwood Elementary is proud to provide a learning environment where every child can learn, grow, and thrive.
