I am thrilled to write a review about my kids' experience attending Sherman Thomas Charter School. From the moment my children enrolled, it has been nothing short of a positive and enriching educational journey.One of the standout aspects of Sherman Thomas Charter School is undoubtedly the dedicated and caring teaching staff. My children have had the privilege of being taught by exceptional educators who are not only knowledgeable but also passionate about their work. The teachers go above and beyond to create a stimulating learning environment, fostering a love for learning in my kids. Their commitment to helping each child reach their full potential is truly commendable.In addition to the teachers, the teacher aides at Sherman Thomas Charter School play a crucial role in enhancing the learning experience. They provide valuable support, ensuring that each student receives personalized attention and assistance when needed. My children have formed strong bonds with these aides, and their presence has contributed significantly to their academic growth.The friendly and welcoming atmosphere at the school is another standout feature. The staff members, from the front office personnel to the cafeteria staff, have always been approachable and accommodating. It's evident that they genuinely care about the students' well-being and create a nurturing environment where children can thrive.Moreover, Sherman Thomas Charter School offers a well-rounded education that extends beyond academics.

This school has been nothing but a nightmare. The office/staff/principal/teachers are the most unprofessional, inexperienced, and unethical in Madera County. I truly think this school should be investigated and should stop being funded for fraud. The teachers do not help with children that are struggling. There are no teacher aids in the class rooms, there are rarely any field trips, any funds this school gets, it's NOT for the kids, it goes in the pockets of the teachers and staff. BEWARE of this school!

Horrible school. Awful teaching! This school's goal is to fail children/hold them back a grade to make more money. No teacher at this school helps to improve grades, they enjoy watching kids fail!

Great school!!!! My son has attended since kindergarten and is by far academically way beyond his grade level. Amazing staff........one thing I will say if you don't want to be a part of your child's education this is not the school for you. Parents are required to do parent hours and stay involved. Your child's education starts at home and if you want a school that will just put all the weight on teachers take your child to a public school. Sherman Thomas has an amazing staff and is a tight knit family. Thank God fir this school. Uniforms are not bad. Any private school requires uniforms so like I said before if that's not for you take your child to a public school.

Sherman Thomas is a great school. As with any other school they have some flaws however school and staff overall is great. There is always room for improvement anywhere you go. If you don't want to be involved, wear uniforms, or pay for tuition ( which is with parent hours) then this school is definitely not for your child. Academics are the best and students are very well educated here. Great school.
