National city placement

One campus shapes the city average

According to NCES CCD 2024-25, Sedona has more public-school enrollment than 1% of the 4,487 US cities in this directory. Sedona Red Rock Junior/Senior High School enrolls 48.5% of Sedona's public-school students. That is enough concentration for one institution to pull the citywide enrollment, staffing, and Resource Index averages toward its own profile. The smaller campuses below should therefore be compared directly rather than inferred from the headline mean; their grade configurations and program footprints can be materially different even inside the same district.

Combined-grade campuses shape the local portfolio

3 of Sedona's 5 listed schools use NCES's combined or “other” grade-level classification. Citywide averages therefore blend campuses serving unusually broad or nonstandard grade spans with conventional elementary, middle, and high schools. Grade configuration is a first-order comparison here, not a minor label.

A small portfolio contains radically different campus scales

Sedona lists only 5 schools, yet reported enrollment runs from 4 to 408 students, a 102-fold range. In a portfolio this compact, the smallest record may be a specialized or nonstandard setting rather than a miniature version of the largest campus. That distinction affects how ratios and program fields should be read. Compare similarly configured grade levels first; combining the extremes into one city average conceals more than it explains.

Sedona Red Rock Junior/Senior High School accounts for 48.5% of all Sedona public-school enrollment

That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Sedona a distant remainder — means Sedona-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade level: Combined. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how districts allocate programs, capital, or staff. Enrollment-weighted aggregates give this entity more weight than any smaller peer, while an unweighted entity average treats every record equally.

Sedona school enrollment varies 102× across entities

Sedona school enrollment ranges from 4 students (lowest) to 408 students (highest), a spread of 404 students. That ratio is an extreme outlier spread — among the widest gaps observed anywhere in this dataset. Per-school staffing and program breadth can differ sharply at opposite ends of that enrollment range, so the city average should not be treated as a typical campus.

Sedona student-teacher ratio is 15.1:1 — near the typical range (US average ~15.7) — citywide staffing is neither unusually lean nor unusually crowded by this measure

student-teacher ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE classroom teachers against total enrollment, push-in specialists, English-language aides, special-education co-teachers, and counselors are not included in most reporting Variation between sub-units within Sedona is typically wider than the Sedona-aggregate figure suggests.

1 of Sedona's 5 listed schools are charters

20% of the city's listed public-school campuses are reported as charter schools in NCES CCD.
