Summary:
The Sedgwick Public Schools district consists of two schools: R L Wright Elementary (grades PK-6) and Sedgwick High (grades 7-12). The district serves the Sedgwick area and provides education to a total of 505 students across the two schools.
R L Wright Elementary stands out as a high-performing school, consistently scoring above the district and state averages on state assessments, particularly in the upper elementary grades. The school maintains a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate and a favorable student-teacher ratio. In contrast, Sedgwick High has generally lower proficiency rates in ELA and Math compared to the district and state, but the school performs well on science assessments and maintains a strong graduation rate and low dropout rate.
Both schools serve a significant population of students from low-income families, with over 37% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This socioeconomic factor may present unique challenges and require targeted support and resources to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed. Additionally, the high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5% at both schools is an area of concern that should be addressed to improve student learning and overall school performance.
