As a small village near Bayakh, the school here is a typical rural Senegalese public elementary school with students from families primarily engaged in horticulture (market gardening), famous for producing carrots, onions, and potatoes for Daka markets.  

Because it is a smaller village than Bayakh, the school at Keur Sedaro often has fewer resources. The most vulnerable of the four; it is highly dependent on regional government funding, community support and international NGOs for things like well repairs, school supplies, and classroom expansions. 

The school is set in a very sandy, semi-arid landscape characteristic of the Niayes zone, surrounded by eucalyptus trees planted to protect the crops from wind.  The student:teacher ratio often exceeds 50:1.
