Summary:
The Edgewood City School District in Ohio serves about 3,332 students across five schools — three elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school, with no alternative schools — covering grades PK through 12. At the district level it ranks 494th of 773 Ohio districts, the 36th percentile, with a 2-star rating. Enrollment is spread across Edgewood High School (1,053 students), Edgewood Middle School (801), Edgewood Intermediate School (739), Edgewood Primary School (451), and Edgewood Early Childhood Center (288).
The district has a clear split personality, and performance falls as grade level rises. Edgewood Intermediate School is the standout: it is the only school rated 3 stars, sits at the 52nd percentile (754th of 1,560), and has the district's lowest chronic absenteeism at 21.0%. Its 5th-grade Science (74.2% vs. 62.7% state) and 5th-grade ELA (78.9% vs. 70.4%) are the district's best tested results. Edgewood Middle School is steady at the 47th percentile (2 stars), but 8th-grade Math is the district's weakest result at 32.8% proficient versus 52.0% statewide. Edgewood High School is the concern: 1 star, 29th percentile (568th of 795), down 14 percentile points in two years, with the highest absenteeism at 41.6%. It still graduates 93.9% of students.
Parents should know a few patterns. Math proficiency slides steadily through middle school — 60.8% in 6th grade, 52.0% in 7th, 32.8% in 8th — before reaching a high school Geometry result of 29.5% versus 43.3% statewide. Absenteeism climbs from 19.0% at the Primary to 41.6% at the High School. Enrollment per grade is fairly even, so the secondary decline is not simply students leaving. Student-teacher ratios are nearly uniform (16.9 to 18.9) and spending data is from 2018-19, so neither appears to explain the differences. Note that the Primary and Early Childhood Center have no current test data, and their rank histories are stale.
