Summary:

Edgewood High is a public high school located in West Covina, California, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 873 students. The school 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 High has consistently maintained high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 95.7% to 98.9% over the past five years, significantly higher than the state average and the graduation rates of nearby schools like Coronado High (Continuation) and North Park Continuation High. However, the school has seen an increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 6.5% in 2017-2018 to 15.3% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average and the rates of nearby comprehensive high schools like West Covina High and Sierra Vista High. Edgewood High's performance on standardized tests is generally lower than the state and district averages, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science all below the West Covina Unified and California averages.

Edgewood High's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from a high of 97 out of 2,354 California high schools in 2011-2012 to 1,128 out of 2,323 in 2023-2024, suggesting that the school may be facing challenges in maintaining its academic performance compared to other schools in the state. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (68.27% in 2022-2023) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which is a proxy for low socioeconomic status, higher than the rates at nearby schools like West Covina High and Sierra Vista High. However, Edgewood High has a high ranking for English Language Learner students, indicating that the school may be providing effective support for this population.

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.
