Summary

Edgewater High is a public magnet high school located in Orlando, Florida, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 2,011 students. The school is part of the Orange County School District, which is ranked 32 out of 67 districts in Florida and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Edgewater High's performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, is generally lower than the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Edgewater High had a 41% proficiency rate in Algebra 1, compared to 63% for the Orange County district and 60% for the state. The school's performance is particularly low in mathematics, with proficiency rates ranging from 20-51% across Algebra 1, Geometry, and 9th/10th grade English Language Arts. However, Edgewater High has had relatively stable four-year graduation rates, ranging from 88% to 96.7% over the past few years, though these rates are lower than some nearby high-performing schools, such as Winter Park High and William R. Boone High.

One area of concern for Edgewater High is its high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 30.9% to 52.3% over the past few years, significantly higher than the district and state averages. This may be linked to the school's relatively high percentage of students from low-income families, as indicated by the free and reduced-price lunch eligibility, which ranges from 50.78% to 52.4%. By addressing these key areas and implementing targeted interventions, Edgewater High can work towards improving its academic performance and providing a high-quality education for its students.
