Summary

Edgewood Middle is a grades 6–8 school in Moriarty, New Mexico, serving 281 students as part of the Moriarty-Edgewood School District.

By the numbers, Edgewood is one of the stronger middle schools in its area. In 2025–2026 it ranked 58th of 191 New Mexico middle schools — the 70th percentile, or 4 stars — well above its own district, which ranks 46th of 87 districts statewide. Proficiency was 56.57% in ELA, 31.02% in math, and 50% in 8th-grade science, all above district and state averages. Among ten nearby middle schools, Edgewood places 3rd in ELA, 4th in math, and 3rd in 8th-grade science. The contrast with its same-district peer is striking: Moriarty Middle posts 30.99% ELA, 13.62% math, and 27.63% science with a 21st-percentile rank. About 100% of Edgewood students qualify for free or reduced lunch, so these results are not simply a matter of lower poverty. Eisenhower Middle serves a similarly high-poverty population and scores higher still, while Renaissance Academy Charter School has far fewer low-income students but lower ELA and math proficiency.

The clearest strengths are 7th-grade ELA (71.25%, versus 46.63% statewide) and 8th-grade science (50%, versus 34.19% statewide). The clearest weakness is math: a 25.55-point gap between ELA and math, wider than the roughly 17.8-point state gap, and 6th-grade math (31.58%) sits just below the state's 31.89%. Subgroup results are a bright spot — low-income students rank at the 80th percentile, and in 2023–2024 English language learners, special education students, and homeless students ranked at the 96th, 94th, and 95th percentiles respectively. One thing to watch: after peaking at the 90th percentile and 5 stars in 2023–2024, the school slipped to the 78th percentile and then the 70th, though it remains a 4-star performer and is level with its longer-term baseline.
