Summary

Sedalia Elementary School is a small PK-6 school in Sedalia, Colorado, serving 212 students in the Douglas County School District, a district ranked in the 95th percentile statewide. Despite being part of one of Colorado's highest-performing districts, Sedalia consistently ranks in the lower half of elementary schools statewide, currently placing in the 45th percentile (2 stars). The school stands out demographically: 58.5% of its students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, a rate more than double the next-highest nearby school, and it has the smallest enrollment and lowest student-teacher ratio (10.8) of any school in the area.

On 2025-2026 CMAS assessments, Sedalia's proficiency rates are dramatically lower than its neighbors. In math, 28.3% of students are proficient, compared to 57.2% district-wide and 37.3% statewide — and roughly 12 points below even the next-lowest nearby school. In ELA, 38.0% of students are proficient, well below the district's 63.8% and trailing the next-lowest nearby school by 13.6 points. Science is a relative bright spot: at 33.3%, Sedalia is only 2.8 points below the state average of 36.1%, though still far behind the district's 55.0%. Nearby schools like Stone Mountain Elementary and Timber Trail Elementary post proficiency rates above 70% in both ELA and math, highlighting the stark contrast within the same district.

Sedalia also faces significant attendance challenges. Chronic absenteeism sits at 27.5%, roughly 11 points above the district average of 16.6%, while most nearby schools report rates between 4.5% and 16.1%. The news is not all discouraging, however. Math proficiency improved from 18.3% to 28.3% and ELA from 30.6% to 38.0% in just two years, and the school's state ranking has climbed from the 20th percentile in 2016-2017 to its current 45th. Because Sedalia already has the most favorable student-teacher ratio in the area, additional staffing alone is unlikely to close the gap. Attendance and socioeconomic disadvantage are the school's most pressing challenges — and also its most promising targets for intervention.
