The school has maintained a 4-5 star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years, indicating strong academic achievement. Edwardsville High School students outperform the state averages in both SAT Mathematics and English Language Arts proficiency, with 37.9% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in SAT Mathematics compared to the state average of 26.1%, and 48.5% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in SAT English Language Arts compared to the state average of 31.1%.

While Edwardsville High School's academic performance is impressive, the school has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism rates, rising from 12.8% in 2019-2020 to 20.1% in 2023-2024. Compared to nearby schools like Civic Memorial High School, Triad High School, and Roxana Senior High School, Edwardsville High School outperforms them in academic rankings, test scores, and graduation rates. This may be due in part to the school's relatively low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (20.43% in 2022-2023), suggesting a more affluent student population compared to nearby schools like East Alton-Wood River High School (62.01%) and Granite City High School (65.48%).

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.
