Summary

Edgewood Junior/Senior High School is a public school located in Merritt Island, Florida, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 935 students. As part of the Brevard District, which is ranked 23 out of 67 districts in Florida and rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, Edgewood has consistently been one of the top-performing high schools in the state, ranking within the top 20 schools for the past several years.

Edgewood's exceptional academic performance is evident across various metrics. The school consistently outperforms the Brevard District and the state of Florida in standardized test scores, with significantly higher proficiency rates in End-of-Course (EOC) exams and FAST (Florida Assessment of Student Thinking) assessments. Edgewood's four-year graduation rates have also been consistently high, ranging from 88% to 100% in recent years, outperforming the district and state averages. However, the school has experienced higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the district and state, which may warrant further investigation and strategies to improve student attendance.

Edgewood's student population appears to come from a relatively higher socioeconomic status, with a low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The school's higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratio compared to the district and state averages may contribute to its academic success, but also raise questions about the equitable distribution of resources across the district. Overall, Edgewood Junior/Senior High School is a high-performing institution that consistently ranks among the top schools in Florida, offering a strong academic environment for its students.
