Edgewood Independent School District is a public school district based in San Antonio, in Bexar County, Texas (USA). History The Edgewood district is most notable as the original plaintiff in a Texas court case which led to the "Robin Hood" school finance plan (which was itself later ruled unconstitutional). The district has sued the state government regarding its school financing since 1984. In 2009, the school district was rated "academically acceptable" by the Texas Education Agency. As of the 2012-2013 school year the district had a school attendance rate of 93.9%, the lowest such rate of all of the San Antonio-area school districts. Joshua Fechter of the San Antonio Express-News stated "Comparatively speaking" that this rate "does not differ much from other area districts whose rates hovers between 94-98 percent." In 2015 multiple administrators either resigned or learned that their contracts would not be renewed. Circa 2016 the elected board could not agree on who should be superintendent nor who should be the principals of the district's high schools. The Texas Education Agency replaced the elected school board with its own managers around that time. Circa 2019 the agency was planning to allow a new elected board to take control. In 2019 it announced that it would take control of the district, vacating the elected board. Geography As of 2015 the school district is "property poor" which means the areas within the district are low income and generate relatively little property tax.
