Summary

Edison Elementary is a highly-regarded K-5 public school serving 474 students in the Alameda Unified school district, consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in California.

The school excels academically, with about 75% of students proficient in both English and Math, significantly outperforming state averages. It maintains this high standard across all grade levels and has remarkably low chronic absenteeism at just 6.1%, showing strong recovery from the pandemic. While achieving excellent results, Edison does so efficiently, spending less per student than some neighboring schools like Franklin Elementary and Love Elementary. A notable finding is that Edison's performance is stable year after year, unlike some area charter schools which can see significant swings in their rankings.

Edison's success is part of a broader trend where schools in the Alameda Unified district, including Frank Otis Elementary and Amelia Earhart Elementary, dramatically outperform nearby schools in other districts like Oakland Unified across all metrics, suggesting strong district-wide support systems are a key factor in student success.
