Summary:

The city of Edison, New Jersey is home to 13 elementary schools that are part of the Edison Township School District, which is ranked 198 out of 609 school districts in the state. The district has an overall rating of 3 stars out of 5 from SchoolDigger.

Among the standout schools in the district are Woodbrook Elementary School, which consistently ranks among the top 120 elementary schools in New Jersey with a 5-star rating, and Martin Luther King Elementary School, which also has a 5-star rating and excels in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. Another high-performing school is James Madison Intermediate School, which serves grades 3-5 and is ranked in the top 100 elementary schools in the state.

The data reveals significant differences in academic performance between the top-performing schools and the lower-performing schools in the district, with the top schools having significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and state averages. However, the district-wide chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9% suggests a challenge that may require targeted interventions and support across all schools.
