Edgewood High School

Summary:

Edgewood High School is a public high school located in Trenton, Ohio, serving 1,167 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Butler Technology & Career Development Schools district, which is ranked 495 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Edgewood High School has a predominantly white student population, with 88.95% of students identifying as white, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school maintains a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 92.2% to 93.8% over the past five years, but has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 18.6% in 2019-2020 to 40.2% in 2022-2023. Academically, the school performs above the state average in American Government and American History, but lags behind in subjects like Geometry and Algebra I. Compared to nearby schools like the Butler Technical Natural Science Center, D Russel Lee Career-Technology Center, and Butler Technical School of the Arts, Edgewood High School serves a more affluent student population, with a lower percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite its strong graduation rates, Edgewood High School's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past decade, from a high of 244 out of 800 Ohio high schools in 2017-2018 to 492 out of 864 in 2023-2024. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with relatively strong performance for Hispanic students but struggles with multi-racial and white student populations. The significant increase in chronic absenteeism is a concerning trend that the school should investigate and address to ensure all students are supported effectively.

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.
