Edison Local (formerly Berlin-Milan)

The Edison Local (formerly Berlin-Milan) school district in Ohio consists of 3 schools: 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school. This high-performing district is home to several standout schools, including Edison Middle School, which is consistently ranked among the top 25% of Ohio middle schools, and Edison High School, which also ranks in the top 25% of Ohio high schools.

Edison Middle School stands out with its impressive test scores, with the majority of grades exceeding the state average in both math and English language arts. The school also boasts a 100% proficiency rate in Algebra I, significantly higher than the district and state averages. Meanwhile, Edison High School maintains a high 4-year graduation rate of 97%, well above the state average, and strong performance in end-of-course exams, with several subjects exceeding the state average.

While the district's student population is predominantly white, it also has a notable Hispanic student population, ranging from 6.05% to 8.56%. The district's focus on providing equitable funding, with the middle and high schools receiving higher per-student funding compared to the elementary school, may contribute to the overall strong performance of the schools. However, the district should address the relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, especially at the high school level, to ensure consistent student engagement and academic success.
