Summary

Edgewood Elementary is a mid-sized school in Charleston, WV, serving 413 students in grades PK-5 as part of Kanawha County Schools. The school is currently ranked in the bottom 10% of elementary schools statewide, though it has shown slight improvement from the previous year.

Academically, Edgewood faces significant challenges. Math proficiency sits at 31% and English Language Arts at 30.8%, both well below district and state averages. This gap is especially stark when compared to nearby top performers like Holz Elementary (90.6% math proficiency) and Kenna Elementary (85.7% math proficiency). Even mid-tier neighbors like Weberwood Elementary (56%) and Montrose Elementary (63.9%) outperform Edgewood by a wide margin. The struggles are consistent across all grade levels—for example, 4th-grade math proficiency is just 24.1% and 4th-grade ELA is 20.7%, the lowest among comparable area schools.

Despite these challenges, there are notable bright spots. Edgewood ranks 8th out of 16 schools statewide for its African American students, earning a 3-star rating for this subgroup—a significant outlier compared to the school's overall 0-star rating. Additionally, 5th-grade science proficiency has shown strong improvement, jumping from 10.2% to 27.8% in just one year. The school also maintains a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 11.8:1 and per-student spending of $12,065, which is comparable to or higher than many higher-performing schools in the area. This suggests the issue isn't a lack of resources but rather how they're utilized. For parents considering Edgewood, the school has proven strengths to build upon, but a fundamental shift in instructional strategy appears necessary to improve outcomes for the majority of its students.
