Summary

Edgewood Elementary is a public elementary school in Charleston, West Virginia, serving 372 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Kanawha County Schools district, which is ranked 22 out of 55 districts in the state.

Edgewood Elementary has had a fluctuating performance over the past several years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 201 out of 380 schools in 2020-2021 to 355 out of 368 schools in 2023-2024. The school's academic proficiency across various subjects and grade levels consistently lags behind the state and district averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Edgewood's 3rd-grade Mathematics proficiency was 42.3%, compared to 51.5% for the Kanawha County Schools district and 53% for the state. The school's performance is particularly concerning in 4th and 5th-grade Mathematics, where the proficiency rates are only 22.6% and 14.3%, respectively.

However, Edgewood Elementary's strong performance in the African American student subgroup suggests that the school may have effective strategies or resources in place to support this population. Exploring and replicating these successful practices across other student subgroups could potentially help improve the overall academic performance of the school. Additionally, the school's declining student-teacher ratio, from 16 students per teacher in 2021-2022 to 10.6 students per teacher in 2023-2024, could be an opportunity to provide more targeted interventions and support for struggling students.
