Edison Elementary

Summary:

Edison Elementary is a public elementary school in Centralia, Washington, serving 281 students in grades K-6. The school stands out from other Centralia School District elementary schools in several key ways.

First, Edison Elementary has a higher percentage of Hispanic students (29.89%) compared to the state average (21.8%), as well as a lower percentage of White students (57.3%) compared to the state (45.6%). Academically, the school outperforms the Centralia School District in the percentage of students proficient or better in SBAC/English Language Arts (42.21% vs. 38.17%) and SBAC/Math (36.36% vs. 26.39%). Edison's Hispanic students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds also perform better than the district averages in both subjects. However, the school's performance still lags behind the state averages in English Language Arts (52.63%) and Math (41.68%).

Compared to nearby schools, Edison Elementary generally outperforms other Centralia School District elementary schools, such as Oakview, Fords Prairie, and Washington. However, Napavine Elementary, a school in the neighboring Napavine School District, significantly outperforms Edison Elementary across multiple subjects and grade levels. The increased funding and relatively low student-teacher ratio at Edison Elementary may have contributed to its improved academic performance compared to the district average.

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.
