Summary

Edgewater Public School is a PK-5 elementary school in Edgewater, FL, serving 439 students within the Volusia County School District, and it has shown a strong upward climb over the past decade, now holding a 3-star rating.

The most standout feature of Edgewater Public School is its exceptional 5th Grade Math performance, with 88% of students proficient—a rate that dramatically outpaces the district and state averages (both 62%) and every nearby school, including Spruce Creek Elementary School (77%). However, the school presents a clear academic split: while it excels in 5th Grade Science (80% proficiency, well above the state's 60%), it consistently struggles in English Language Arts (ELA), with proficiency rates in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades all falling below district and state averages. This "tale of two subjects" suggests that while the school has pockets of excellence, particularly in 5th-grade math, it faces ongoing challenges in reading and writing across all grade levels.

Interestingly, Edgewater Public School spends $15,062 per student—the highest among its comparison group, including Coronado Beach Elementary School ($12,970) and Cypress Creek Elementary School ($10,662)—yet its overall state ranking (58th percentile) is lower than many schools that spend far less, such as Sweetwater Elementary School (96th percentile). On a positive note, the school has made significant strides in reducing chronic absenteeism, dropping from 32.5% in 2021-2022 to 23.0% in 2023-2024, which is now much better than the district (34.1%) and state (31.4%) averages. This improvement, combined with its strong math and science scores, indicates a school that is making progress, though it may need new strategies to boost ELA performance and break through its current plateau.
