Summary

Edgewood Elementary is a public elementary school in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 382 students. The school is part of the Oak Creek-Franklin Joint School District, which is ranked 174 out of 426 districts in Wisconsin and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Edgewood Elementary has consistently performed above the state average in proficiency rates for the Forward Exam across various grade levels and subject areas, including English Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Science. The school's performance is generally on par with or slightly below the district average, indicating it is performing at a level comparable to other schools in the district. Notably, Edgewood Elementary has a strong performance in certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students and English Language Learners, where it ranks among the top schools in the state. However, the school has experienced an increase in chronic absenteeism rates, reaching 19.5% in the 2022-2023 school year, which is higher than the district and state averages.

When compared to nearby schools, Carollton Elementary and Southwood Glen Elementary consistently outperform Edgewood Elementary in student proficiency rates, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics. In contrast, schools in the South Milwaukee School District generally have lower student performance and higher rates of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility compared to Edgewood Elementary. Overall, Edgewood Elementary is a solid performing school within the Oak Creek-Franklin Joint School District, but it faces challenges with increasing chronic absenteeism rates and maintaining its performance relative to nearby high-performing schools.
