The Edge School Inc. district in Arizona operates two high schools, Edge High School - Himmel Park and EDGE High School - Northwest, both of which are struggling to provide a quality education to their students. The data paints a concerning picture, with both schools performing poorly on key metrics such as graduation rates, dropout rates, and state assessments.

Neither school appears to be a standout performer, with Edge High School - Himmel Park ranked 290 out of 469 high schools and EDGE High School - Northwest ranked 368 out of 469 high schools in the state. Both schools have extremely low four-year graduation rates, at 9.1% and 10.7% respectively, and high dropout rates, at 22.5% and 29.3% respectively. Additionally, the schools perform poorly on state assessments, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science well below the state average.

Addressing the underlying issues, whether at the school or district level, will be crucial to improving outcomes and ensuring that all students have access to a robust and effective educational experience.
