Summary

Edison Elementary is a highly-regarded public elementary school serving 404 students in grades K-5 within the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District, consistently ranking in the top 6% of all California elementary schools.

The school excels by achieving outstanding academic results for all its students, with recent proficiency rates far exceeding state averages. What truly sets Edison Elementary apart is its remarkable success across diverse student groups, including those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds and those in special education, performing in the 97th to 100th percentiles for these subgroups statewide. This "inclusive excellence" is notable compared to nearby schools like Franklin Elementary, which also ranks highly but serves a student population with far lower economic need.

Edison demonstrates effective use of resources and strong student engagement, with a chronic absenteeism rate much lower than the state average and nearby schools with similar demographics, such as Will Rogers Elementary. The school has shown steady improvement over the past several years and has successfully managed post-pandemic challenges. While it serves a community with greater economic need than some Santa Monica peers, its ability to deliver top-tier education for every student makes it a standout model of consistent and equitable excellence.
