Summary:
Edgewood, Washington, has four schools serving about 2,070 students: three elementary schools serving grades K–6 or 3–5 and one junior high serving grades 6–9. There are no listed high schools or alternative schools within the city. Three schools—Northwood Elementary, Edgemont Junior High, and Mt View Elementary—are part of the Puyallup School District, while Hedden Elementary School belongs to the Fife School District. Because the schools serve different grade levels and districts, families should compare both overall rankings and subject-specific results.
Edgemont Junior High has the strongest current ranking, at the 64th percentile statewide, and showed the city’s clearest improvement. Its science proficiency reached 64.83%, well above district and state results, after rising about 15.5 percentage points in one year. Its main weakness is math, at 38.65%, especially in grade 7. Among elementary schools, Northwood Elementary ranks highest at the 60th percentile and offers the most balanced profile, with math and science above state results and ELA near the state average. It is also the largest school, serving 732 students.
Mt View Elementary has the city’s strongest math performance at 55.83%, but its ELA result of 43.29% is the lowest among the four schools, making reading and language arts its clearest improvement area. Hedden Elementary School performs above its district in ELA and math but remains below statewide results in all three subjects, with math declining from grade 3 through grade 5. Overall, science is Edgewood’s strongest subject, while ELA is the broadest challenge. Families may want to examine grade-level results closely, particularly math at Edgemont, ELA at Mt View, and the recent declines at Hedden and Northwood.
