Best Public Schools in Edgewood, KY

Summary:

The city of Edgewood, Kentucky is home to three schools: two elementary schools (R C Hinsdale Elementary School and James A Caywood Elementary School) and one middle school (Turkey Foot Middle School). Based on the data analysis, R C Hinsdale Elementary School stands out as the top performer in the Edgewood area, consistently outpacing the Kenton County and Kentucky state averages on standardized test scores.

R C Hinsdale Elementary is ranked 49th out of 685 Kentucky elementary schools and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's strong performance is further evidenced by its higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio compared to the other Edgewood schools. In contrast, James A Caywood Elementary School appears to be the weakest performer, with a declining statewide ranking and test scores that lag behind the county and state averages.

The data also reveals significant disparities in the free/reduced lunch rates among the Edgewood schools, with R C Hinsdale Elementary having the lowest rate at 23.51% and James A Caywood Elementary having the highest at 63.42%. This suggests that the schools may be serving student populations with very different socioeconomic backgrounds, which could be a contributing factor to the differences in academic performance.
