Summary

Edgewood School is a public elementary school serving grades K-8 in New Haven, Connecticut, with 407 students. The school is part of the New Haven School District, which is ranked 147 out of 156 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Edgewood School has consistently been ranked in the bottom quarter of Connecticut elementary schools over the past decade, receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Edgewood School faces several key challenges, including very high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 17.7% to 37.5% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average. The school's test scores on the SBAC and NGSS assessments are also consistently below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 29.8% of 3rd graders at Edgewood were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 46.9% statewide. Additionally, Edgewood School has a very high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 49.63% to 61.92% in recent years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Interestingly, several nearby magnet schools, such as Mauro-Sheridan Magnet School and Beecher School, consistently outperform Edgewood School on test scores and other metrics, suggesting that these magnet schools may be providing a higher-quality educational experience for their students, despite serving similar demographic populations. While Edgewood School's performance has been consistently low, the data shows that there is room for improvement, and targeted interventions and support could potentially help the school enhance its overall performance.
