Summary

Edison Elementary School is a public elementary school in Erie, Pennsylvania, serving 428 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Erie City School District, which is ranked 545 out of 606 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Edison Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Pennsylvania elementary schools, with proficiency rates in PSSA Math and English Language Arts that are significantly lower than the state and district averages. For example, in 2024-2025, only 10% of students were proficient in Math and 5.3% in English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 41.7% and 48.5%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as White students and students with low socioeconomic status.

The challenges faced by Edison Elementary are not unique to the school itself but are likely systemic issues within the Erie City School District. The nearby Klein Elementary and Rolling Ridge Elementary schools in the Harbor Creek School District significantly outperform Edison Elementary, with proficiency rates often exceeding 60% in Math and English Language Arts. This stark contrast highlights the need for systemic improvements within the Erie City School District to better support the educational outcomes of its students.
