Edgewater Public School

Edgewater Public School earns an Exceptional composite score of 9.0 out of 10, placing it 63rd among 3,777 public schools in Florida — a mark that puts it ahead of 98% of the state. For families in Edgewater, the choice is straightforward: this school ranks first of the two public schools in the city and sits 59th among all 2,196 Florida elementary schools. These are not marginal edges — they reflect consistent, measurable performance at every grade from pre-K through fifth.

The school's growth score of 9.6 out of 10 is its sharpest signal. Growth measures how much students advance relative to peers with similar starting points, and a 9.6 means nearly every child here is outpacing expectations — not just the ones who arrived ahead. Academic performance backs that up with an 8.5, confirming that strong growth translates into real proficiency.

The 13.8-to-1 student-teacher ratio gives teachers room to deliver on both fronts across 456 enrolled students. Parents comparing elementary options in Volusia County will find few public schools that match Edgewater's combination of high baseline achievement and exceptional student progress. The data places it in a tier most Florida schools don't reach.
