Summary

R L Wright Elementary is a pre-K through grade 6 school in Sedgwick, Kansas, with 283 students. On the 2025–26 state tests, its all-grade proficiency was higher than Kansas’s in English language arts (53% versus 46%), math (51% versus 41%) and science (48% versus 38%). The most important caution is that these overall results hide sharp differences by grade: fourth-grade ELA proficiency was just 30%.

The school’s clearest strengths are math compared with the state and science compared with its district, Sedgwick Public Schools. Its math rate was 10 percentage points above the state and 1 point above the district; science was 9 points above both the state and district. Its ELA lead was smaller: 8 points over the state and 1 over the district. Compared with the 10 nearby schools with current all-grade results, R L Wright’s ELA was 3 points below their average, while its math was 4 points above. Grade-level results show an even sharper contrast: fourth-grade ELA was 20 points below the state and the lowest among six nearby schools with results, while fourth-grade math was 18 points above the state and higher than all six. Fourth-grade math also exceeded Pray-Woodman Elementary, the next-highest nearby school, at 62% versus 59%. Nearby schools serve different grade spans, so all-grade comparisons are context rather than exact matches.

Over time, the school has stayed above state averages, but its own scores have not broadly risen: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, ELA increased by 2 percentage points, math was nearly flat, and science fell by 5. SchoolDigger rates it at the 62nd percentile with 3 stars, down from the 84th percentile in 2018–19; among nearby schools with current rankings, it is close to Valley Center Intermediate School at the 63rd percentile. Its student–teacher ratio is 12.4, below the nearby average of 13.5, and its free/reduced-lunch rate is 40%, compared with a nearby average of 48%. SchoolDigger’s measure of how well the school serves male students fell from the 90th percentile in 2018–19 to the 45th in 2025–26; its ranking for how well it serves students with low socioeconomic status dropped from the 96th percentile in 2023–24 to the 61st in 2025–26.
