Edison Elementary School

Summary:

Edison Elementary School is a public elementary school in Dayton, Ohio, serving 388 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Dayton City School District, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Edison Elementary School faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19.4% in 2019-2020 to 60.4% in 2020-2021. Academically, the school consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Ohio elementary schools, with low performance on state assessments across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 15.4% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in Science, compared to 21% for the Dayton City School District and 64% for the state of Ohio. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as African American students, students with disabilities, and students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

The challenges faced by Edison Elementary are not unique to the school, as nearby schools like Louise Troy Elementary, Westwood Elementary, and Ruskin Elementary also struggle with low academic performance and high chronic absenteeism rates. However, some nearby charter schools, such as Emerson Academy and Deca Prep, demonstrate higher academic achievement, suggesting that alternative educational models may be more effective in this area.

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.
