Summary:
The Edison Elementary district in California contains two schools: Orangewood Elementary and Edison Middle. While Orangewood Elementary has shown steady improvement in its state ranking, moving from 4131 in 2021-2022 to 3398 in 2023-2024, Edison Middle has seen a decline, dropping from 1861 in 2021-2022 to 2003 in 2023-2024.
Orangewood Elementary outperforms the district and state averages in 3rd and 4th grade Smarter Balanced Assessments for both English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics, indicating stronger academic performance. However, both schools have high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 86.75% and 85.37% respectively, suggesting a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. This may be a contributing factor to the schools' lower academic performance and higher chronic absenteeism rates, which were 38.3% for Orangewood Elementary and 32.4% for Edison Middle in 2022-2023.
While the student-teacher ratios for both schools are within a reasonable range, Edison Middle significantly underperforms the district and state averages in Smarter Balanced Assessments for both English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics across all grade levels. This indicates a need for targeted interventions and strategies to improve student outcomes at Edison Middle, potentially addressing factors such as curriculum, teacher quality, and school resources.
