Summary

Edgewood Elementary STEAM Academy is a public elementary school in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 503 students. The school is part of the Woodland Hills School District, which is ranked 524 out of 606 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Edgewood Elementary STEAM Academy has consistently ranked in the bottom 15% of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past decade, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in PSSA Math and English Language Arts (ELA) are significantly lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rate in PSSA Math for all grades was 21%, compared to the state average of 41.7% and the Woodland Hills School District average of 16.8%. Similarly, the school's proficiency rate in PSSA ELA for all grades was 22.7%, compared to the state average of 48.5% and the district average of 26.6%.

While the nearby schools, such as Catalyst Academy Charter School, Turner Intermediate School, and several Pittsburgh public schools, also struggle with low academic performance, some Pittsburgh public schools, like Pittsburgh Colfax K-8 and Pittsburgh Minadeo K-5, have performed better, with proficiency rates closer to the state averages. These factors suggest that addressing the root causes of the academic disparities at Edgewood Elementary STEAM Academy and the surrounding schools will require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach that goes beyond just increasing resources.
