Summary:
In Sedgwick Public Schools, two schools serve 521 students from prekindergarten through grade 12: R L Wright Elementary (PK–6) and Sedgwick High (grades 7–12). In 2025–26, their all-grade averages were above state results in ELA and math, but science shows the clearest concern: the high school was below the state while the elementary school was well above it.
R L Wright led the two schools in all three all-grade subjects, with 53% in ELA, 51% in math and 48% in science; Sedgwick High scored 50%, 50% and 35%, respectively. Their largest gap was in science, at 13 points: the elementary school was 9 points above the state’s 38%, while the high school was 4 points below. Grade-level results are uneven: the high school’s 7th-grade math was 69% versus 38% statewide, while its 11th-grade science was 24% versus 30%. At the elementary school, 5th-grade ELA was 68% versus 51% statewide, but 4th-grade ELA was 30% versus 50%.
Across both schools, the average rose 9 points in math from 2024–25 to 2025–26, increased 2 points in ELA and fell 12 points in science. Those averages mask different paths: the high school gained 11 points in ELA and 16 in math but lost 21 in science; the elementary school’s ELA fell 6 points, math rose 3 and science fell 4. SchoolDigger’s ranking percentile declined over the three reported years, from 74 to 62 for the elementary school and from 75 to 67 for the high school. Other measures offer context: the elementary school had a higher student-teacher ratio (12.4 versus 10.9) and lunch-eligibility rate (40% versus 36%), but lower chronic absenteeism (5% versus 18%). The high school’s graduation rate was 97%, compared with 90% statewide.
