Edgewood Elementary School

Summary:

Edgewood Elementary School is a public elementary school in Anderson, Indiana, serving 178 students in grades K-4. The school faces significant challenges, with high chronic absenteeism rates, low test scores, and a high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Edgewood Elementary consistently performs below the state and Anderson Community School Corporation averages on ILEARN assessments for English Language Arts, Math, and Science. For example, in 2023-2024, only 18.1% of Edgewood students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 18% for the district and 38.6-41.8% statewide. The school also has very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 24.4% in 2022-2023 to 61.3% in 2020-2021, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages. Additionally, Edgewood has a very high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 60.75% to 78.09% over the past few years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

In contrast, the schools in the South Madison Community School Corporation, such as Maple Ridge Elementary, Pendleton Elementary, East Elementary, and Lapel Elementary, have significantly higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism, and lower free/reduced lunch rates. This highlights the stark performance gap between the two districts, despite being in relatively close geographic proximity.

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.
