Summary

Edgemont Junior High is a public middle school serving about 590 students in grades 6-9 in Edgewood, Washington, as part of the Puyallup School District, and it consistently ranks as an average-performing school in the state.

Academically, the school shows a mixed picture: its English and Science scores are close to state averages, but Math scores, particularly in 8th grade, are a notable area for improvement. When compared to nearby schools, Edgemont sits in the middle of a wide performance range within the region. It performs better than some close neighbors like Surprise Lake Middle School but lags behind higher-performing schools in other districts, such as Lakeridge Middle School or Sumner Middle School. Interestingly, the school has demonstrated a particular strength in supporting one student subgroup to achieve well above average state rankings.

Edgemont's performance is stable compared to schools with more volatile year-to-year results, and its level of per-student funding is very similar to other schools in the Puyallup School District, like Aylen Junior High. This suggests that factors beyond simple funding explain the differences with higher-performing schools. For parents, the key takeaways are that Edgemont provides a consistent, mid-tier education in the area with a clear opportunity to strengthen its 8th-grade math program while also learning from its own demonstrated successes with specific student supports.
