School Overview

Chester is a city with a lot of heart and a complicated history, and Edgmont Scholars Academy reflects both the challenges and the efforts underway to address them. Families considering this school should go in with eyes open — academic performance sits well below state averages across English, math, and science, which can make it a tough fit for families prioritizing test-driven outcomes. That said, for families deeply rooted in the Chester community who value proximity and local connection, understanding the full picture of what the school is working through is an important first step in making the right call.
