Summary

Edgewater High is a large traditional public high school in Orlando, FL, serving approximately 2,000 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Orange school district. The school stands out for its remarkably high graduation rate, consistently exceeding 96% and often reaching 99%, which is significantly above both district and state averages. However, this success in graduating students is not matched by its academic proficiency, as the school's state ranking sits at the 51st percentile (3 stars), and its performance on core academic assessments, particularly in math, lags behind district and state averages.

The most critical challenge facing Edgewater is its alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rate of 52.3%, the highest among all traditional high schools in the area and far exceeding the district average of 35.2%. This attendance crisis is likely a primary driver of the school's academic struggles, especially in math where proficiency in Algebra 1 (43%) and Geometry (59%) is significantly lower than nearby William R Boone High (46% and 65% respectively). In contrast, Edgewater performs relatively well in US History (77% proficient) and Biology (70% proficient), outperforming district and state averages in US History. The school also has the lowest spending per student ($9,004) and the highest student-teacher ratio (24.3:1) among nearby schools, which may contribute to its academic challenges.

When compared to Orlando Science Middle High Charter, located just 1.45 miles away, the contrast is dramatic. This charter school is a top-tier institution (5 stars, 92nd percentile) with a 100% graduation rate, a 30.2% chronic absenteeism rate, and proficiency rates 30-40 percentage points higher than Edgewater's in most subjects. Edgewater serves a much higher percentage of low-income students (48.3%) compared to the charter (18.9%), which is a significant factor in this performance gap. The school's most striking feature is the disconnect between its stellar graduation rate and mediocre-to-low academic proficiency, suggesting a focus on credit recovery and alternative pathways to graduation rather than deep academic mastery. Addressing the chronic absenteeism crisis would be the single most impactful step the school could take to improve its overall performance.
