Summary:
Zip code 75117 in Edgewood, Texas, is home to two elementary schools serving 500 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade, both part of the Edgewood Independent School District (Isd), which holds a 3-star rating and ranks in the 64th percentile statewide.
The district operates a clear feeder pattern: Edgewood Elementary (grades PK-2) prepares students for Edgewood Intermediate (grades 3-5). The two schools are nearly identical in size, with 243 and 257 students respectively. A key difference is economic disadvantage: Edgewood Elementary has a higher rate at 64.61% free/reduced lunch compared to 51.75% at Edgewood Intermediate. The district allocates slightly more resources to the needier school, with Edgewood Elementary receiving $9,698 per student and a lower student-teacher ratio of 12.6:1, versus $9,509 and 14.1:1 at Edgewood Intermediate. This modest resource allocation suggests the district is attempting to address the greater challenges at the lower grade level.
Academically, Edgewood Intermediate shows a mixed picture. Reading proficiency across grades 3-5 ranges from 49% to 56%, all below state averages. Math is a clear weakness, with 4th and 5th graders scoring 5-6 percentage points behind the state. However, a bright spot is 5th-grade science, where 37.36% of students were proficient in 2024-2025, significantly outperforming the state average of 29.57%. The school's state ranking has been volatile, jumping from the 47th percentile to the 65th, then dropping to the 53rd, indicating performance is not yet stable. For parents, this means Edgewood Intermediate offers strong science instruction but needs improvement in math, while Edgewood Elementary serves a more economically challenged population with slightly better student-teacher ratios.
