Summary:
The 80135 zip code area is home to a single public elementary school, Sedalia Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 203 students. While the school has a diverse student population, with 50.25% White, 41.87% Hispanic, and smaller percentages of other racial groups, its academic performance on the CMAS assessments is significantly below the Douglas County School District and state averages in both English Language Arts and Math.
Sedalia Elementary School's proficiency rates on the CMAS assessments were just 30.6% in ELA and 18.3% in Math, compared to district averages of 62.3% and 52.3%, respectively, and state averages of 44.1% and 34.2%. This suggests the school may be struggling to meet the academic needs of its students, which could be exacerbated by the high percentage (50.74%) of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low socioeconomic status in the school's population.
While Sedalia Elementary School has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.9 to 1, the data points to the need for targeted interventions and support to improve the school's academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts and Math. Addressing the needs of the school's economically disadvantaged student population may be a key focus area for improvement, as research has shown a correlation between poverty and lower academic achievement.
