Edgewood Middle School

Summary:

Edgewood Middle School is a public middle school located in Mounds View, Minnesota, serving grades 6-8 with a student population of 699. The school is part of the Mounds View Public School District, which is ranked 105 out of 463 districts in Minnesota and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Edgewood Middle School has a relatively diverse student population, with 47.93% White, 14.31% African American, 14.88% Hispanic, and 12.16% Asian students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments (MCA-III), is generally lower than the Mounds View Public School District and the state of Minnesota averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in MCA-III Math for all grades was 39.73% at Edgewood, compared to 56.36% for the district and 45.47% for the state. Similarly, the percentage of students proficient or better in MCA-III Reading for all grades was 45.2% at Edgewood, compared to 57.56% for the district and 49.85% for the state. Edgewood Middle School's performance varies across different student subgroups, with the school ranking higher for African American and English Language Learner students compared to other Minnesota middle schools, but lower for Hispanic, Low Socioeconomic Status, and Male students.

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.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
