Edgewood High School is a secondary school located in West Covina, California and is serviced by West Covina Unified School District. Founded as a high school in 1958, it operated until 1988 and was later re-opened in 2010. The newly started high school's first graduating class was the class of 2014, which was the only class on campus when the school first opened in 2010. The school is part of the Freelance League.
Edgewood High School was originally established in 1958 by the Covina Union High School District after they bought land from the Hurst Family Ranch. The purpose of the school was to ease the problems of overcrowding at West Covina High School's old campus.[2] Its athletic teams were known as the Trojans.
It was announced that due to budget deficits, Edgewood High School would be closed after the 1987-88 academic year, leaving West Covina High School as the only high school in the entire district.[3] The district initially planned to sell the campus and consolidate the grades 7 to 8 programs from three other elementary and intermediate schools all at one campus, generating much controversy among parents and stakeholders. Eventually the district decided to keep the Edgewood campus and open Edgewood Middle School.[4] With West Covina High facing overcrowding problems, the district decided to re-open Edgewood High School on the middle school site. In 2010 the high school re-opened as an International Baccalaureate school.[5][6]
The ethnicity of the school in 2021-2022 was:[7]
