Summary

Sedgefield Montessori, located on Hartford Avenue in Charlotte, serves 485 students from Pre-K through Grade 6 as part of Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools. The school is among the highest-performing elementary schools in North Carolina, earning a 5-star rating and ranking 72nd out of 1,492 schools statewide in 2025-2026 — the 95th percentile. That performance continues a long track record of success: Sedgefield has landed in the top 15% of North Carolina schools every year since 2015-2016, climbing from a pandemic-era low of 205th in 2021-2022 back to 72nd this year.

Academically, Sedgefield beats district and state proficiency averages in every tested grade and subject. It is especially strong in 6th grade, where 88.9% of students are proficient in math and 91.1% in reading — roughly 27 and 37 points above the district average. In a neighborhood full of elite public schools, including Metrolina Regional Scholars Academy (#1), Dilworth Elementary School Latta Campus (#32), Selwyn Elementary (#40), Myers Park Traditional Elementary (#87), Collinswood Language Academy (#93), and Eastover Elementary (#113), Sedgefield's #72 ranking places it in very good company. Results are also strong across student groups: male students ranked 33rd of 1,451 statewide (98th percentile) for a second straight year, African American students ranked in the 88th percentile, and gifted students climbed from the 14th percentile to the 72nd percentile in just two years.

Attendance and classroom conditions add to the appeal. Sedgefield's chronic absenteeism rate is just 7.9%, compared with 26.8% districtwide and 24.2% statewide, and the school has stayed in single digits for four straight years. Its student-teacher ratio of 13.2 is lower than many nearby high performers, and about 19.6% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. For families seeking a Montessori program that extends through 6th grade, Sedgefield combines elite academics, healthy attendance, and a well-supported classroom environment in the heart of Charlotte.
