Summary:
Edgewood Independent School District (Isd) is home to a single high school, Edgewood High School, which serves 281 students in grades 9 through 12 and has shown notable strengths in English and Biology while facing challenges in math.
Edgewood High School stands out for its exceptional student-teacher ratio of 8.7:1, which allows for small class sizes and personalized attention. This likely contributes to its perfect 100% graduation rate for the 2023-2024 school year and strong academic performance in English Language Arts, where proficiency rates in English I Reading (73.12%) and English II Reading (67.9%) significantly exceed state averages. The school also excels in Biology (72.22% proficiency) and U.S. History (72.62% proficiency). However, Algebra I remains a weak point, with only 50% proficiency in the 2025-2026 school year, below the state average of 54.03%. Despite this, the school showed dramatic improvement in Algebra I, jumping from 22.06% proficiency the previous year—a 127% increase. Overall, the school ranks in the 67th percentile statewide (655 out of 2,009 high schools), an improvement from the 58th percentile the year prior.
Key metrics include a dropout rate of just 0.3%, with 39.86% of students economically disadvantaged and per-student spending of $12,069. The school’s performance is subject-dependent, with English and science as clear strengths while math requires targeted support. The high graduation rate contrasts with potential college readiness concerns, as Algebra I proficiency suggests some students may struggle with college-level math. Year-over-year volatility in test scores is common for small schools, as seen in English II Reading dropping from 76.92% to 67.9%. Overall, Edgewood High School offers a supportive, small-school environment with strong outcomes in several subjects, though families should note the need for math improvement.
