Edison Elementary School

Summary:

Edison Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 315 students in grades PK-5 in Tampa, Florida. It is part of the Hillsborough School District, which is ranked 45th out of 68 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Edison Elementary has a predominantly African American student body, with 70.48% of students identifying as African American in the 2022-2023 school year.

Edison Elementary faces significant challenges, as evidenced by its high chronic absenteeism rates, low test scores, and high poverty levels. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.9% to 44.0%, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools. Edison Elementary's test scores are also significantly lower than the Hillsborough district and Florida state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 10% of 5th-grade students at Edison Elementary were proficient or better in Statewide Science, compared to 47% in the Hillsborough district and 53% statewide. Additionally, Edison Elementary has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 87.62% to 96.84% over the past three school years.

Despite its challenges, Edison Elementary has a relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $14,285 to $17,374 over the past four school years, and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11:1 to 12.1:1 over the past three school years. However, the school's performance metrics are significantly worse than the nearby schools, such as Ese Birth Thru Age 5, Tampa Heights Elementary Magnet, and Lockhart Elementary Magnet School, which have more diverse student populations and better overall performance.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
