Summary

Edgewood High is a public magnet high school located in Edgewood, Maryland, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,417 students. The school is part of the Harford County Public Schools district, which is ranked 10th out of 25 districts in Maryland and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Edgewood High has faced academic challenges, consistently underperforming the Harford County and Maryland averages in standardized test scores across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in MCAP Mathematics (14%) and Algebra I (13.6%) were significantly lower than the county (28.4% and 18.7%) and state (26.5% and 21.4%) averages. The school's four-year graduation rate has also fluctuated between 81.7% and 91.5%, which is generally lower than the county and state averages. Additionally, Edgewood High has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 20.3% to 42.9% in recent years, much higher than the typical range for the county and state.

Interestingly, Edgewood High's academic performance, graduation rates, and other key metrics lag behind many of the nearby high schools in the Harford County district, such as Fallston High, C. Milton Wright High, and Bel Air High. However, Edgewood High performs better than the Center for Educational Opportunity, a virtual high school in the district, which has significantly lower test scores and graduation rates. Addressing the school's challenges through targeted interventions and support could be crucial for improving Edgewood High's overall performance and outcomes.
