Among the standout schools in Sedalia are Horace Mann Elementary and Parkview Elementary, which rank in the top 25% of Missouri elementary schools and have strong test scores, particularly in math. In contrast, Heber Hunt Elementary and Washington Elementary have lower proficiency rates, which may be linked to their higher rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

The schools in Sedalia also exhibit significant variations in student-teacher ratios, with E.W. Thompson School having the lowest ratio at 6.0 and Smith-Cotton High School having the highest at 16.6. This disparity in resource allocation may contribute to the differences in academic performance observed across the district, which is served by the Sedalia 200 and Pettis County R-Xii school districts.
