Edison Elementary School

Summary:

Edison Elementary School is a public elementary school in Omaha, Nebraska, serving 375 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Omaha Public Schools district, which is ranked 205 out of 212 districts in the state.

Edison Elementary has a relatively diverse student population, with 35.73% White, 29.6% African American, 11.2% Hispanic, and 9.87% Asian students. Academically, the school's performance is generally higher than the Omaha Public Schools district average but lower than the state average. For example, in 2022-2023, 55% of 3rd graders at Edison were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 42% for the district and 63% for the state. Edison has strong performance for certain student subgroups, ranking 4th out of 20 Nebraska elementary schools for African American students in ELA and 22nd out of 76 for English Language Learner students. However, the school's overall ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, from 196 out of 485 Nebraska elementary schools in 2012-2013 to 336 out of 459 in 2022-2023.

Compared to nearby schools, Edison Elementary generally performs better academically, particularly in ELA and Mathematics. However, it lags behind the higher-performing Westside Community Schools district, such as Carl A. Swanson Elementary, which consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, 69.5% in 2021-2022, suggests that Edison Elementary may be facing challenges in addressing the needs of its socioeconomically disadvantaged student population.

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.
