Summary

Edgewood Middle School is a public school in Wooster, Ohio, serving grades 5–7 with 704 students as part of the Wooster City district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 389th of 1,046 Ohio middle schools — the 63rd percentile, or 3 stars. That is above the state median, but it is the lowest rank among nearby ranked middle schools: Dalton Middle School (93rd percentile), Cloverleaf Middle School (86th), Norwayne Middle School (85th), Northwestern Middle School (81st), Triway Middle School (73rd), Green Middle School (69th), Orrville Middle School (67th), and Rittman Middle School (65th). Wadsworth Intermediate School has no school rank listed here, but its district and test scores are stronger.

Test results vary sharply by grade. Edgewood's 7th graders did well in 2025–2026: 7th grade math was 68.5% proficient, 19.9 percentage points above the state, and 7th grade ELA was 69.7%, 7.0 points above the state. But 5th and 6th grade math and ELA landed at or slightly below state averages and generally below nearby same-grade peers; 5th grade math, ELA, and science each ranked last among the four nearby schools reporting those tests. Because Edgewood serves grades 5–7 while several neighbors serve 6–8 or 5–6, direct comparisons are not perfectly clean. Attendance is a bright spot: chronic absenteeism fell from 18.6% in 2021–2022 to 10.1% in 2025–2026, better than the district's 13.5% and most nearby schools. About 51.28% of students qualified for free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025, and the student–teacher ratio improved from 19.3 to 16.4.

The most encouraging finding for families is how well Edgewood serves economically disadvantaged students: its low-SES subgroup ranked in the 83rd percentile with 4 stars in 2025–2026, up from the 48th and 41st percentiles in the prior two years. Special education is the relative weak spot — 33rd percentile, 2 stars, an improvement from 17th but still below the state median. Overall, Edgewood is a large, solidly above-average Ohio middle school with strong 7th grade results, improving attendance, and notable low-income student outcomes; its main challenges are 5th and 6th grade math and ELA relative to nearby peers and special education outcomes.
