Summary

Edgewood Junior/Senior High School in Merritt Island, FL, serves 942 students in grades 7 through 12 and is part of the Brevard school district, consistently ranking among the top 2% of Florida high schools for the past decade.

Edgewood is an academic powerhouse that stands out dramatically from nearby schools. It has achieved a perfect 100% graduation rate for five consecutive years, a feat unmatched by any other school in the area. Its test scores are universally elite, with 100% proficiency in US History and 8th Grade Math, 99% in Biology 1, and 97% in Geometry. For comparison, Cocoa Beach Junior/Senior High School, the next best performing school in the region, has proficiency rates ranging from 62% to 90% in these same subjects. Edgewood also boasts an exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of just 9.9%, less than half that of Satellite Senior High School (15.9%) and dramatically lower than the district average of 21.1%. Remarkably, Edgewood achieves these results while spending just $10,257 per student, less than many lower-performing schools in the district.

One of the most striking findings is the "Merritt Island Paradox": Edgewood and Merritt Island High School are located just 1.03 miles apart on the same island, yet they represent two completely different educational realities. Edgewood is a top-20 school in Florida with a 100% graduation rate, while Merritt Island High is ranked 369th with a 98.5% graduation rate. This stark contrast is likely driven by Edgewood's selective enrollment program. The school's sustained excellence over a decade, combined with its efficient use of resources, makes it a clear benchmark for what is possible within the Brevard County public school system.
