Summary

Edison High School is a public magnet high school in San Antonio, Texas, serving 1,373 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the San Antonio Independent School District, which is ranked 790 out of 961 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Edison High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas high schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years. The school's four-year graduation rate has ranged from 82.3% to 97.5%, generally lower than the state average, and its dropout rate has fluctuated between 0.6% and 4.2%, higher than the state average. Edison High School's STAAR EOC test scores are significantly lower than the state and district averages across all subject areas, including Algebra I, Biology, English I and II Reading, and U.S. History. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rate in Algebra I was 23.97%, compared to the state average of 47.01%.

When comparing Edison High School to nearby schools, such as Legacy Of Educational Excellence High School and International School Of America, the performance gap is quite significant. These nearby schools, which are also part of the San Antonio Independent School District, consistently outperform Edison High School across various metrics, including test scores, graduation rates, and student demographics. Additionally, Edison High School's spending per student has increased from $11,045 in the 2018-2019 school year to $11,806 in the 2020-2021 school year, which is higher than the state average, but this increased spending does not seem to have translated into improved academic outcomes for the school.

It’s hilarious that the boundary is like 60 percent white but the school is 2 percent white. It’s a horrible school and ugly as well. It should be shut down Close Quote
