Summary

Sedalia Elementary School in Mayfield, Kentucky, serves pre-K through grade 6 and enrolls 376 students in Graves County, a district rated 5 stars and in the 94th statewide percentile by SchoolDigger. Sedalia’s 2025–2026 SchoolDigger rating is 4 stars, ranking 148th of 684 Kentucky schools at the 78th percentile. Its overall KSA results are well above state averages, but the clearest concern is grade 5, where reading, social studies and editing and mechanics results lag local comparisons.

Sedalia is strongest in math relative to the state: its grades 3–6 average is 61%, compared with 43% statewide, and is essentially level with the district and nearby-school averages. Reading averages 68%, 17 points above the state, but 6 points below the district and slightly below nearby schools. Grade 5 is weaker locally: reading is 52%, about 20 points below the nearby average; social studies is 37%, compared with 54% in the district and about 58% nearby; and editing and mechanics is 43%, about 20 points below nearby results. Grade 5 math is also a relative weak spot at 43%, 11 points below the district and 16 below nearby schools, despite stronger results in grades 4 and 6.

Over time, reading has risen modestly, from an average of 65% in 2022–2023 to 68% in 2025–2026, while math has been nearly flat, moving from 60% to 61%. Grade 5 social studies fell from 53% to 37% across the supplied years. SchoolDigger’s percentile ranking has also eased from 91 in 2023–2024 to 78 in 2025–2026, though it remains above the statewide midpoint. For context, the reported student-teacher ratio is 15.8 in 2024–2025, second-highest among the 11 supplied schools, and 59% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. Chronic absenteeism improved from 19% in 2021–2022 to 12% in 2025–2026, below the state rate of 24% and slightly above the district’s 11%.
