Sedona Charter School

Public, Charter Grades K-8

Summary

Sedona Charter School is a public charter elementary school serving 163 students in grades K-8 in the scenic town of Sedona, Arizona. The school's student body is predominantly White (73.01%), with significant Hispanic (17.79%) and multi-racial (6.13%) representation.

Sedona Charter School's academic performance has been mixed, with the school's statewide ranking fluctuating from a high of 92nd out of 1,039 Arizona elementary schools in 2018-2019 to a low of 648th out of 1,245 in the current 2022-2023 school year. While some grade levels perform above the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics, others fall below. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, ranking highly (90th out of 820) for its special education students but very low (1,041st out of 1,201) for its English Language Learners. Dropout rates have also been a concern, ranging from 0% to 7.4% over the past several years.

However, it lags behind the higher-performing Clarkdale-Jerome Elementary School and Desert Star Community School in several academic metrics. Additionally, while the school has a majority White student population, its White students rank relatively low (797th out of 1,024) compared to the state, while its Hispanic and multi-racial students perform better in relation to their peers statewide.
