Summary:
The Sedalia 200 school district in Missouri consists of 8 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The district serves a diverse student population, with several schools reporting high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students.
The standout schools in the district are Horace Mann Elementary, Parkview Elementary, and Washington Elementary, all of which have consistently maintained 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger and strong test scores, particularly in mathematics. These elementary schools appear to be the highest-performing in the district.
In contrast, the middle and high schools in the Sedalia 200 district seem to struggle more, with lower test scores and rankings compared to the state. Additionally, the district as a whole faces challenges with high rates of chronic absenteeism, which may be a contributing factor to the academic performance disparities between the elementary and secondary schools. The district may benefit from a closer examination of resource allocation, attendance, and strategies to support struggling schools and student populations.
