Summary

Edgewood Elementary School is a K–6 school at 502 Boyd Cir in Michigan City, Indiana, serving 350 students as one of eight elementary schools in the Michigan City Area Schools district. It has earned 1 star in each of the past ten years, and in 2025–26 it ranked 807th of 1,015 Indiana schools — the 20th percentile, its lowest mark since 2017–18 and last among the district's eight elementaries.

Compared with its district peers, Edgewood sits at the bottom: Joy Elementary School (36th percentile, 0.74 miles away), Marsh Elementary School (23rd, 1.1 miles), and Knapp Elementary School (49th, the district's strongest) all rank higher. Edgewood spends $13,901 per student, near the bottom of that group, yet Joy earns 2 stars on $79 less per student and Knapp outperforms on about $344 more. Its 65.14% free/reduced lunch rate is the second-lowest of the eight, so poverty does not explain the gap. Nearby schools show what is achievable: F Willard Crichfield Elementary (84th percentile on $9,631 per student), Renaissance Academy Charter School (68th on $8,109), and Brummitt Elementary School in Duneland School Corporation (76th statewide).

Inside the building, results vary more than they do between schools. Fourth graders beat the district in ELA (38.89%) and match the state math mark (52.78%), while sixth grade posts 8.16% in ELA and 2.04% in science. All-grade science fell to 10.59% from 19.1% the year before, even as fifth-grade social studies jumped from 11.32% to 33.33%. Chronic absenteeism has improved three years running to 20.8%, and per-student spending is up 31% since 2020–21 — with no measurable rise in proficiency.
