Summary

Edison Park Creative And Expressive Arts School is a public magnet elementary school (PK-5) in Fort Myers, FL, serving 440 students with a unique focus on creative and expressive arts, and it stands out as a high-performing outlier within the Lee school district.

Edison Park’s academic performance dramatically surpasses nearby schools. In the most recent school year, its students averaged 71% proficiency in both ELA and math, while the next best nearby school, Hancock Creek Elementary School, averaged 60% and 62%, respectively. The gap is even wider compared to James Stephens Elementary School, where proficiency rates are around 35%. In 5th-grade science, Edison Park’s 74% proficiency rate is a remarkable 47 percentage points higher than James Stephens’ 27%. This success is not due to higher spending—Edison Park’s per-student spending ($12,131) is mid-range compared to neighbors like Edgewood Academy ($20,498), which achieves far lower scores. The school also has a lower chronic absenteeism rate (22.8%) than the average of nearby schools (35.5%), and a lower percentage of students eligible for free/reduced lunch (44%) compared to the surrounding area’s average of 64%.

The magnet program appears to attract engaged families from a wider area, creating a motivated student body. A compelling comparison is with Orangewood Elementary School, which has similar attendance and poverty levels but scores roughly half as well in 3rd-grade ELA and math. This suggests Edison Park’s arts-focused curriculum is enhancing, not detracting from, core academic achievement. After a dip in 2023-2024, the school has rebounded to its best ranking since 2017-2018, now placing in the top 25% of Florida elementary schools. For parents seeking a school where creativity and strong academics go hand-in-hand, Edison Park offers a proven, high-performing option in a district where many nearby schools struggle.
