Edison School

Summary:

Edison School is an elementary school in Salt Lake City, Utah, serving 368 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Salt Lake District, which is ranked 54 out of 98 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Unfortunately, Edison School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Utah elementary schools over the past several years, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One key factor that differentiates Edison School is its student demographics. The school has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (66.85%) compared to the surrounding schools and the state average. Additionally, over 99% of Edison School's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a very low socioeconomic status of the student population. This socioeconomic challenge may contribute to the school's academic struggles, as evidenced by its significantly lower RISE test scores compared to the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas.

While the nearby schools, such as Mountain View School and Meadowlark School, also have relatively low academic performance and high percentages of students from low-income backgrounds, Edison School consistently ranks lower than these schools on statewide assessments. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 16.5 could indicate a need for more targeted instructional support or resources to address the specific needs of its 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.
