Best Public Schools in Edgewater, CO


Summary:

The city of Edgewater, Colorado is home to three schools - two elementary schools (Lumberg Elementary and Edgewater Elementary) and one junior/senior high school (Jefferson Junior/Senior High School) - all of which serve a predominantly Hispanic student population from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Among the three schools, Edgewater Elementary stands out as the top performer, with the highest percentage of students proficient or better in CMAS English Language Arts across all grades, and exceptional 3rd grade ELA scores that far exceed district and state averages. In contrast, the other schools struggle with low test scores and rankings, with Jefferson Junior/Senior High School seeing a concerning decline in its statewide ranking over the years.

Overall, the Edgewater school district faces significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the high free/reduced lunch rates and low test scores across the schools. However, the bright spot at Edgewater Elementary suggests that there is potential for improvement through targeted interventions and the sharing of best practices across the Jefferson County School District No. R-1.
