We are now accepting applications for the 2021-2022 academic year.

Edgewood Independent School District is relentlessly committed to providing our students with a next-level education that best fits their diverse skills. Our plan to continue this goal is developing our five innovation zones in the next five years.  Your family now has the opportunity to choose from all Edgewood schools and programs designed to best fit the individual interests of their child. Edgewood ISD is an open-boundary school district; all students from Bexar County can apply to an Edgewood School of Innovation.

An application is required to gain admission into these schools and programs.
