For example, in the most recent testing year, 62.5% of Sequoyah students were proficient in Science compared to 44.0% statewide.

An interesting comparison is with Dover Elementary School, located just 9.92 miles away in the Dover School District. Dover has recently surged in performance, overtaking Sequoyah in the most recent rankings and outperforming it in Math and Science.
