Summary:
Edgewood, Texas is served by a single middle school, Edgewood Middle, which is part of the Edgewood Independent School District (Isd) and educates 241 students in grades 6 through 8.
Edgewood Middle presents a mixed picture of performance. The school is a standout in advanced mathematics, with an impressive 86.67% of students proficient in Algebra I, far exceeding the state average of 54.03%. It also excels in 8th-grade math, where 62.71% of students are proficient compared to the state's 47.24%. However, the school shows a significant "math paradox": only 21.13% of 6th graders are proficient in math, a stark contrast to the 8th-grade success. Reading proficiency is near the state average in 6th grade but falls behind in 7th and 8th grades. A major area of concern is 8th-grade Social Studies, where only 15% of students are proficient, less than half the state average of 31.69%. On a positive note, the school maintains a 0.0% dropout rate and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.5:1, with 40.66% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch.
Overall, Edgewood Middle is a school of contrasts, excelling in upper-grade and advanced math while struggling with foundational 6th-grade math and Social Studies. The school's strong Algebra I scores highlight a center of excellence for advanced math within the district. Parents should note that while the school has clear strengths, targeted support is needed in reading for upper grades and in Social Studies to ensure well-rounded student success.
