Summary

Edgewood Highland is an elementary school in Cranston, Rhode Island, serving 285 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school consistently ranks in the bottom half of Edgewood Highland's academic performance, with only 27.9% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and just 17.2% proficient in Mathematics, significantly below the Cranston district and state averages.

Despite Edgewood Highland having a relatively low student-teacher ratio and increased spending per student over the years, the school's academic performance has not shown significant improvement. In fact, the school's overall ranking within the state has declined, from 85 out of 168 Rhode Island elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 120 out of 166 schools in the 2024-2025 school year. Interestingly, the nearby Highlander Elementary Charter school, which serves a higher proportion of low-income students, outperforms Edgewood Highland in academic measures.

The challenges faced by Edgewood Highland appear to be multifaceted, as the school underperforms compared to other nearby schools within the Cranston district, such as W.R. Dutemple School and Edward S. Rhodes School, which have higher proficiency rates and overall rankings.
