Summary

Edgewood Middle School in Ninety Six, SC, serves 354 students in grades 6-8 and is part of the highly rated Greenwood 52 school district, which ranks 8th out of 75 districts statewide. Over the past several years, Edgewood has shown remarkable improvement, climbing from the 53rd percentile in 2018-2019 to the 79th percentile in 2025-2026, earning a 4-star rating. This upward trajectory makes it one of the strongest middle schools in the region.

What truly sets Edgewood apart is its exceptional academic performance compared to nearby schools in the Greenwood 50 district. In mathematics, Edgewood's proficiency rates range from 56.6% to 58.9% across grades 6-8, dramatically outpacing Northside Middle (as low as 30.8%) and Brewer Middle (as low as 38.7%). The school has also achieved a perfect 100% proficiency rate on the Algebra 1 End-of-Course exam for three consecutive years, a full 26 points above the state average. Beyond math, Edgewood excels across all subjects—English Language Arts (60.3%-70%), Science (59%), and math all significantly exceed state averages, demonstrating well-rounded academic strength.

Edgewood also stands out for its remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of just 8.6%, compared to the state average of 22.3% and rates above 22% at nearby schools like Westview Middle. This reflects a highly engaged student body and strong school culture. The school is particularly effective with low-socioeconomic-status students, who ranked in the 85th-95th percentile statewide in recent years. While Edgewood's per-student spending ($13,898) is in line with its peers, it achieves superior results, indicating efficient resource use. One area of concern is a recent decline in performance for African American students, which warrants attention to ensure equitable outcomes. Overall, Edgewood is the clear academic leader in the area, making it a top choice for families seeking a high-performing middle school.
