Summary:

Edgewood Junior High School is a public middle school located in Ellettsville, Indiana, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 603 students. The school is part of the Richland-Bean Blossom Community School Corporation, which is ranked 66th out of 381 school districts in Indiana and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Edgewood Junior High School has consistently performed well on ILEARN assessments, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math generally higher than the state averages. In 2023-2024, Edgewood's proficiency rates in ELA (47.69%) and Math (35.19%) were higher than the district's overall scores (47.21% and 44.1%, respectively). However, the school has a predominantly white student population, with around 90% of students identifying as white, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools like Jackson Creek Middle School and Tri-North Middle School, which have more diverse student populations. Edgewood Junior High School also has a moderate percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 34.86% to 40.3% over the past three school years, which is lower than some of the nearby schools such as Bell Intermediate Academy (54.61%) and John R. Wooden Middle School (50.64%).

The consistent increase in per-student spending at Edgewood Junior High School, from $8,584 in 2018-2019 to $9,646 in 2021-2022, suggests the school is receiving adequate funding and resources to support its educational programs. This, combined with the relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.6 to 16.6 over the past three school years, indicates the school is well-equipped to provide a quality education to its students. While Edgewood Junior High School outperforms some of the nearby schools in academic performance, it lacks the racial diversity of schools like Lora L. Batchelor Middle School and Tri-North Middle School, which are part of the higher-ranked Monroe County Community School Corporation.

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.
