Summary

Edgewood Elementary School is a public elementary school in Michigan City, Indiana, serving 347 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Michigan City Area Schools district, which is ranked 279 out of 380 districts in Indiana and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Edgewood Elementary faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, well below average test scores, and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 23.5% of Edgewood students were proficient or better in ILEARN/English Language Arts, compared to 27.96% for the district and 40.3% statewide. The school also has relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $10,594 to $13,901 over the past few years, but this does not seem to be translating into improved academic outcomes.

When comparing Edgewood Elementary to other schools in the Michigan City Area Schools district, it becomes clear that Edgewood is one of the lower-performing schools. Nearby schools like Joy Elementary and Knapp Elementary have significantly higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates. Edgewood's performance has remained relatively stagnant over the past several years, with little to no improvement in test scores or other key metrics, suggesting that the school may be facing systemic challenges that are not being adequately addressed.
