Edgewood Elementary has a predominantly African American student population, similar to the nearby schools like Windsor Hills Elementary/Middle, Hilton Elementary, and Rosemont Elementary/Middle. However, the academic performance at Edgewood Elementary, as measured by MCAP test scores, is generally lower than the Baltimore City Public Schools and Maryland state averages. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Maryland elementary schools and received a 0-star or 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Edgewood Elementary and the nearby schools serve a predominantly low-income student population, with high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients. Despite the relatively high per-student spending at these schools, the academic performance remains low, raising questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources. Addressing the unique challenges faced by these schools and their students will likely require targeted interventions and support, such as increased teacher training, specialized academic programs, and community-based initiatives.

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.
