Edison Elementary School

Summary:

Edison Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Minot, North Dakota, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 461 students. The school is part of the Minot 1 school district.

Edison Elementary consistently outperforms the Minot 1 district and the state of North Dakota in both mathematics and reading proficiency, with 49% of students proficient or better in mathematics and 50% proficient or better in reading. However, the school has a higher percentage of white students (76.57%) compared to nearby schools like Lewis and Clark Elementary (63.26%) and Sunnyside Elementary (61.35%). Additionally, Edison's chronic absenteeism rate of 16.0% is lower than some nearby schools, but it has been increasing in recent years.

Another notable difference is Edison's lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (28.85%) compared to schools like Sunnyside Elementary (66.31%) and Washington Elementary (62.54%). This suggests that Edison's student population is more economically advantaged. The school also has higher per-student spending ($15,759 in 2021-2022) compared to the state and district averages, which may contribute to its academic success.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
