Our Story

Sherman Elementary School is a newer school in an old Nampa neighborhood. We opened in 1995 to replace the more than 80-year-old East Side Elementary School.

At one time our location would have been considered east Nampa, but as our city has grown our neighborhood has become part of central Nampa. Our school is tucked onto a large parcel bordered by Powerline, Amity, and Sherman roads and the railroad tracks.

Sherman is a welcoming, caring place where students in grades K-5 master the essential skills in preparation for a lifetime of learning. Our students also learn the building blocks of science, social studies, citizenship, and health complimented by art, music, and physical education in a comprehensive curriculum.

We serve a diverse community of students by focusing on the individual child’s needs. We work actively to involve parents in our school and more than 50 percent of parents volunteer time at our school.
