Summary

Edgewood-Colesburg High School is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in Edgewood, Iowa, with a total enrollment of 198 students. The school is part of the Edgewood-Colesburg Community School District, which is ranked 119 out of 313 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Edgewood-Colesburg High School has demonstrated a mix of strengths and weaknesses. The school has maintained a strong four-year graduation rate, ranging from 87.5% to 100% in recent years. However, its statewide ranking has been quite volatile, ranging from a high of 55th to a low of 243rd over the past decade, suggesting inconsistent performance. The school's test scores on the Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress (ISASP) are generally above the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, with some variations across grade levels and subject areas. Compared to nearby high-performing schools, such as Maquoketa Valley Senior High School and West Delaware High School, Edgewood-Colesburg High School has room for improvement in areas like statewide ranking and overall academic performance.

One area of concern for Edgewood-Colesburg High School is its relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, which has ranged from 11.3% to 23.4% in recent years, notably higher than the state average. This could be an important issue for the school to address. Additionally, the school's moderate free and reduced lunch rate, at around one-third of the student population, indicates a potentially supportive learning environment, but the high chronic absenteeism rate may be a concern that needs to be addressed.
