Sealey Elementary is the only math and science magnet school in Leon County. It has an "A" rating. Sealey is the second Leon County School to be named in recognition of a prior figure in Tallahassee educational history. Romero Mitchell Sealey, served successfully as the Superintendent of Ft. Myers City School (1917), State Supervisor of Secondary Education, and Secretary of the Florida Education Association. The school was originally built in 1930 at 234 E. 7th Avenue, which is now the site of the Tallahassee Police Department. It was rebuilt in 1969 in its current location at 2815 Allen Road. The new building contained six open-design learning centers housing kindergarten through fifth grades, a media center, music and art rooms, cafeteria and an administrative suite. In 1983 walls were erected between classrooms as sound and sight barriers. In 1989, four new buildings were added to the original structure. The new buildings house an art and music suite, two computer labs and exceptional student education classrooms. In December, 2000, Sealey Elementary was given the designation of Magnet School status from the Leon County School Board. The math and science curriculum was transformed from a traditional curriculum into inquiry-based learning experiences through the use of hands-on material and technology.
