Edgewood Academy

Summary:

Edgewood Academy is a public elementary school serving 489 students in grades K-8 in La Puente, California, which is part of the Bassett Unified School District. Despite the district's 2-star rating, Edgewood Academy has consistently maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and outperforms the district and the state in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects.

Edgewood Academy's Hispanic students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds perform exceptionally well compared to their peers in the state, with the school's Hispanic students ranking 1193 out of 5102 California elementary schools in English Language Arts/Literacy and its low-income students ranking 1366 out of 5511 schools. However, the school faces challenges with chronic absenteeism, which reached 37.1% in 2021-2022, though it still performs better than the district average. Edgewood Academy also outperforms other schools in the Bassett Unified School District, such as J.E. Van Wig Elementary and Sunkist Elementary, in both test scores and student group performance.

While Edgewood Academy's performance is impressive, it lags behind the higher-performing San Jose Charter Academy, which is located just 0.6 miles away and serves a more diverse student population. Additionally, Edgewood Academy has a relatively high student-to-teacher ratio, suggesting that the school may have fewer resources and support available for its students compared to some of the higher-performing nearby schools.

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.
