Edgewood Middle School's statewide ranking has been declining over the past several years, from 157 out of 533 Minnesota middle schools in 2018-2019 to 232 out of 545 in 2023-2024. This suggests that the school's performance may be declining relative to other middle schools in the state. In comparison, the nearby Chippewa Middle School is ranked 21 out of 545 Minnesota middle schools and has significantly higher proficiency rates in MCA-III Math and Reading. However, Edgewood outperforms some other nearby schools, such as Prodeo Columbia Heights Middle and Columbia Academy, which have much lower proficiency rates. Edgewood Middle School's relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 41.64% to 54.08% over the past three school years, may be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance compared to some of the nearby schools with lower poverty rates.
