Summary

Edgewood Elementary School in Fruitport, MI, is a mid-sized school serving 585 students from Pre-K through 5th grade as part of the Fruitport Community Schools district, which overall earns a solid 4-star rating.

Edgewood faces real academic challenges, but the picture is more nuanced than a single rating suggests. The school currently holds a 2-star rating and ranks in the 47th percentile statewide—its best performance in a decade. However, it is the lowest-performing elementary school in its own district. For example, in 5th-grade math, only 24% of Edgewood students were proficient, compared to 68% at Shettler School and 45.7% at Beach Elementary School, both just miles away. This gap is striking because Shettler serves a nearly identical student population in terms of economic disadvantage (about 50% free/reduced lunch at Shettler vs. 47% at Edgewood), yet achieves dramatically better results. The difference appears to be school-specific—not about poverty or district resources.

There are also encouraging signs. Edgewood's state ranking has improved for three straight years, and chronic absenteeism has dropped from a high of 35.4% in 2021-2022 to 16.9% in 2024-2025. That rate is still nearly double Shettler's (9.6%) and more than triple Churchill Elementary School's (5.2%), so attendance remains a key area to watch. Notably, Edgewood shows a particular strength with its Hispanic students, ranking in the 56th percentile for that group—well above its overall performance. The school also spends more per student ($16,257) than higher-performing peers like Shettler ($15,315) and Churchill ($13,424), suggesting funding isn't the issue. For parents, the takeaway is that Edgewood is on an upward trajectory, but the school still has significant work to do to match the academic success of its district neighbors.
