Summary:
The four public schools in zip code 75117, all part of the Edgewood Independent School District (Isd) in Edgewood, TX, serve approximately 1,022 students from Pre-K through 12th grade in a small, self-contained community with moderate-to-high economic disadvantage.
Edgewood High School stands out as the district's academic leader, boasting a perfect 100% graduation rate and significantly outperforming state averages in English I and II. It also offers the most personalized learning environment with a student-teacher ratio of 8.7:1. In contrast, Edgewood Middle presents a "math paradox": its 8th-grade Algebra I students achieve exceptional proficiency rates (over 85% vs. the state's 54%), yet its 6th and 7th-grade math scores fall well below state averages. Edgewood Elementary serves the highest percentage of economically disadvantaged students (64.61%) but receives the second-lowest spending per student ($9,698), while the high school, with the lowest economic disadvantage (39.86%), receives the highest spending ($12,069). Edgewood Intermediate has the least favorable student-teacher ratio at 14.1:1.
A critical weakness across the district is Social Studies, with only 15% of 8th graders at Edgewood Middle proficient—roughly half the state average. The district's overall 0.2% dropout rate is very low, though the high school's rate of 0.3% slightly exceeds it. These insights highlight a district with strong high school outcomes and an elite math program, but also reveal inequities in resource allocation and significant gaps in core subjects that parents should investigate further.
