Summary

Edison Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Tampa, Florida, with 296 students. It is part of the Hillsborough School District, which is ranked 49 out of 67 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Unfortunately, Edison Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Florida elementary schools over the past decade, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Edison Elementary faces significant challenges, including very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 30.9% to 32.4% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. Academically, Edison students perform well below their peers across the state and district in English Language Arts, Math, and Science proficiency. For example, in 2024-2025, only 21-30% of Edison students are projected to be proficient in these subjects, compared to 52-63% for the district and 56-63% for the state. The school also has an extremely high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 84.8% to 89.91% in recent years, indicating the socioeconomic challenges facing the student population.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Hillsborough School District, such as Lomax Magnet Elementary and Seminole Heights Elementary, generally perform better than Edison Elementary across academic metrics. Additionally, the magnet schools in the area, like Tampa Heights Elementary Magnet and Lomax Magnet Elementary, tend to outperform the traditional public schools, suggesting the magnet school model may be more effective in this district.
