Edgewood Intermediate

Tucked into the small-town fabric of Edgewood, a quiet East Texas community about an hour east of Dallas, Edgewood Intermediate sits right in the middle of the pack statewide but punches above its weight in science — a bright spot worth noting for families with curious, hands-on learners. The school has a close-knit feel that's hard to replicate in larger districts, where staff tend to know students by name and community ties run deep. Families drawn to a slower pace of life, wide open spaces, and a school where your kid isn't just a number will find Edgewood a comfortable fit.
