Summary:

Edison Elementary has two schools serving kindergarten through grade 8: Orangewood Elementary (K–4, 617 students) and Edison Middle (grades 5–8, 489 students). In 2025–2026, both schools’ all-grade English and math results were below state proficiency: Orangewood scored 33% in each subject, while Edison Middle scored 30% in English and 18% in math, compared with state results of 49% and 38%. The most important finding is that the all-grade results mask a bright spot: Orangewood’s third graders scored above state results in both English and math.

Orangewood Elementary leads the two-school group in all-grade English by 4 points and math by 16 points, but its strongest results are concentrated in third grade. Third graders scored 48% in English versus 44% statewide, and 58% in math versus 47% statewide. Fourth-grade results were much lower: 23% in English and 16% in math, compared with 46% and 42% statewide. At Edison Middle, every reported grade was below its same-grade state results in English and math. Science is a relative bright spot in eighth grade: 31% proficiency was 4 points below the state, though Edison Middle’s all-grade science result was 26% versus 36% statewide.

Both schools improved from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026. Orangewood Elementary gained 1 point in English and 1 in math; Edison Middle gained 4 points in English, 6 in math, and 10 in science. SchoolDigger gives Orangewood 2 stars and a 38th-percentile ranking, versus Edison Middle’s 1 star and 25th percentile; these rankings are within different school-type groups. As context, in 2024–2025, 87% of Orangewood students and 88% of Edison Middle students were free/reduced lunch eligible; student–teacher ratios were 22 and 17.2, respectively. The schools serve different grades, so their all-grade results are not direct same-grade comparisons.
