Summary

Edison School of Innovation is a public charter elementary school serving 248 students in grades K-8 in Glendale, Arizona. The school is part of the Edison Project district, which is ranked 118 out of 289 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Edison School of Innovation consistently outperforms the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across multiple grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, 56% of 4th graders were proficient in ELA compared to the state average of 46%. The school's performance is particularly strong in certain student subgroups, such as Asian and multi-racial students, as well as English Language Learners and students with special needs. However, the school struggles with the performance of African American and Hispanic students, indicating potential areas for improvement.

When compared to nearby public schools like Santa Fe Elementary and Desert Mirage Elementary, Edison School of Innovation generally outperforms them in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency. This suggests the school may have more effective instructional practices or resources that contribute to its stronger academic performance. However, the school also faces challenges, such as relatively high dropout rates ranging from 5.2% to 14.5% in recent years, which are higher than the state average.
