Summary

Edgewood Elementary is a PK–5 neighborhood school at 8545 S Shepard Ave in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, a Milwaukee-area suburb, serving 389 students as one of five elementaries in the Oak Creek-Franklin Joint School District. For 2025-2026, it ranks 360th of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools — the 65th percentile, 3 stars — its best mark since 2021-22, following a steady three-year climb (60 → 63 → 65). About 41.65% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, the student-teacher ratio is 14.5:1, and per-pupil spending is $13,175.

Among the district's five elementaries, Edgewood is 3rd of 5: behind Carollton Elementary (90th percentile) and Meadowview Elementary (86th), and ahead of Shepard Hills Elementary (55th) and Cedar Hills Elementary (48th). Its strongest differentiator is the poverty-adjusted picture — Edgewood has the second-highest free/reduced-lunch rate in the district yet outperforms Shepard Hills and Cedar Hills, which serve similar or lower low-income populations, making it the top Oak Creek-Franklin school serving a roughly 40%+ low-income student body. Chronic absenteeism is 6.2%, lowest in the district, second-lowest among eleven nearby schools, and less than half the district rate of 14.0%. Its $13,175 per student is the third-lowest of those eleven.

Edgewood beats the state average in every subject tested. Science is the standout at 68.1% proficient — 14.7 points above the state, second-best in the district, and up from 50.8% four years ago. Social studies is also strong at 78.3%. ELA (59.5%) and math (57.8%) are above state but modestly below district averages. Two areas to watch: fifth-grade math, where proficiency dips to 51.6% — right at state and district averages — and special education students, whose relative standing has slipped to the 27th percentile, or 1 star. English learners (83rd percentile) and low-income students (68th percentile) remain bright spots.
