Summary:
ZIP code 46239 contains three middle schools with a combined enrollment of about 3,485 students: Edgewood Intermediate School (grades 4–6, in Franklin Township Com School Corp) and Creston Intermediate & Middle School and Raymond Park Intermediate & Middle (both grades 5–8, in MSD Warren Township). Because Edgewood stops at 6th grade while the Warren schools include 7th and 8th, "All Grades" comparisons are useful but not perfectly apples-to-apples.
Edgewood is the clear academic standout. Its 2025–2026 All Grades proficiency is 37.33% in ELA, 42.95% in Math, and 38.43% in Science — roughly 14 to 30 points above the other two schools depending on subject. It also posts the lowest chronic absenteeism (9.4%, versus the state's 16.7%) and the lowest free/reduced lunch rate (55.77%), while spending the least per student ($7,443). Grade-level results are mixed: 4th Grade Math (55.83%) and 5th Grade Social Studies (47.42%) are above state, while 6th Grade Science (33.41%), 5th Grade ELA (34.83%), and 6th Grade Math (35.8%) fall below it.
Between the two Warren schools, Raymond Park generally outperforms Creston: ELA 23.19% vs. 22.70%, Math 19.57% vs. 13.37%, and Science 22.04% vs. 10.77%. Raymond Park's rank has climbed to the 21st percentile, while Creston sits in the 15th percentile with a 1-star rating. The biggest red flag is that both schools fall below the state in every reported grade-level subject, and science is especially weak — Creston's 6th Grade Science is 10.77% against the state's 41.2%. Each school does have bright spots relative to its own district, including Raymond Park's 6th Grade Science and Math, and Creston's 5th Grade ELA and 8th Grade Math, but the overall pattern holds: Edgewood leads, Raymond Park follows, and Creston faces the largest academic challenges.
