Original Research by School Decision on Edgewood Middle School
Edgewood Middle School is a regular public school in Warsaw, Indiana, serving seventh and eighth graders as part of Warsaw Community Schools. It is the district's only middle school for these two grades, drawing students from across the city and its surrounding area. The school operates as a traditional public school, neither a charter nor a magnet.
Academically, Edgewood's performance on the state's ILEARN assessments places it in a strong position within the county. On the most recent testing, about half of students scored at or above the proficiency benchmark in both math and English language arts. That performance, when measured by a combined proficiency index, sits well above the average among the three districts in Kosciusko County. The school's results from an older social studies test are from a different assessment and several years ago, so they are less useful for a current picture. A parent looking at these numbers would see a school whose core academic outcomes are above what most other districts in the county report for their middle school grades.
The student body numbers roughly in the mid-hundreds, split fairly evenly between seventh and eighth grade. Racially, the school is predominantly white, with a notable Hispanic population that makes up nearly one-fifth of the enrollment, and small shares of students who are Asian, Black, or multiracial. Just under half of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, a measure of economic need that is higher than what one might find in a wealthier suburban setting. Data on students with disabilities and English learners were not available in the profiles reviewed, so a parent may want to ask the school directly about the availability of special education and English-learner supports.
Warsaw itself shapes the context for this school. The city is a regional hub for orthopedic medical device manufacturing, home to companies like DePuy, Zimmer Biomet, and Biomet, along with other industrial employers. This gives the local economy a strong employment base, though housing costs sit somewhat below national averages, making the area relatively affordable for families. The city is set among several lakes, with a traditional downtown anchored by the county courthouse. While no detailed walkability scores were found, the built environment is auto-oriented, with major highways bypassing the downtown core. The city has seen steady population growth over the long term, tied to the expansion of its industrial sector.
Because Edgewood is a middle school, it does not have a graduation rate, and data on chronic absenteeism and discipline were not available in the information used here. Those are areas a parent would need to follow up on with the school or district. No recent parent-relevant changes within Warsaw Community Schools were identified in publicly available materials.
Overall, Edgewood Middle School presents as a solid academic option for families in the Warsaw area, with test results that stand out positively against other Kosciusko County districts. Its student body reflects the community's economic and racial makeup, and the surrounding city offers a stable employment base and relatively affordable housing. Families considering this school should seek direct information on special education, English-learner services, and school climate metrics not covered in this summary.
