Summary:
In zip code 32132, there is one elementary school, Edgewater Public School, serving grades PK through 5 in the Edgewater area of the Volusia County district.
Edgewater Public School stands out for its strong performance in math and science, with 88% of 5th graders proficient in math and 80% proficient in science in the 2025-2026 school year, both well above state averages. However, the school struggles with English Language Arts (ELA), where proficiency rates in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades all fall below state averages. The school has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.8:1 and spends $15,062 per student, yet its overall state ranking has declined from the 72nd percentile to the 58th percentile over three years, now holding a 3-star rating. Chronic absenteeism is a key strength at 23.0%, significantly lower than the district (34.1%) and state (31.4%) averages, which supports a stable learning environment.
Notable trends include a dramatic increase in 5th grade math scores from 68% to 88% year-over-year, while 3rd and 4th grade math scores decreased, suggesting a particularly strong cohort or targeted instruction at the upper grade level. With 56.49% of students economically disadvantaged, the school’s resources and low absenteeism are positive factors, but the persistent ELA weakness indicates a need for focused reading and writing interventions to improve overall performance.
