Summary

Edison Elementary School is a public elementary school in Omaha, Nebraska, serving 365 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Omaha Public Schools district, which is ranked 111 out of 115 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Edison Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Nebraska elementary schools, with a 1-star rating for most of the past decade. The school's student performance on state assessments is generally below the state and district averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 48.15% of 3rd-grade students and 73.68% of 4th-grade students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state averages of 57.45% and 59.59%, respectively. The school's performance on state science assessments for 5th-grade students is also below the state average.

Despite the school's overall low performance, its African American and English Language Learner (ELL) students have performed relatively well compared to their peers in other Nebraska elementary schools. However, the school faces significant challenges, including consistently high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 19.3% to 40.5% over the past few years. Nearby schools like Adams Elementary, Boyd Elementary, and Dodge Elementary have similar low rankings and 1-star ratings, indicating that the overall performance of schools in this district is relatively poor.
