Edgewood Middle

Summary:

Edgewood Middle is a public middle school located in West Covina, California, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 571 students. It is part of the West Covina Unified School District, which is ranked 605 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Edgewood Middle consistently underperforms compared to the West Covina Unified district and the state of California in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 31.51% of Edgewood Middle students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 46.8% for the district and 47.04% for the state. In Mathematics, the proficiency rate was even lower at 21.29%, compared to 35.97% for the district and 35.54% for the state. Additionally, Edgewood Middle has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 5.8% in 2017-2018 to 16.9% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the district's average.

However, the school's performance in supporting its homeless student population is a notable bright spot, as this subgroup ranked 96 out of 394 California middle schools in 2023-2024. Additionally, the nearby schools in the West Covina Unified district, such as Hollencrest Middle and Walnut Grove Intermediate, perform significantly better on standardized tests and have lower chronic absenteeism rates, suggesting that there may be opportunities for Edgewood Middle to learn from the practices and strategies employed by its higher-performing counterparts.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
