Summary

Edison High is a large, 4-star public high school serving grades 9-12 in the Fresno Unified district, where it stands out for achieving strong academic results with its 2,339 students despite being located in a high-need area.

The school consistently outperforms most other comprehensive high schools in the district by a wide margin, with proficiency rates in English, math, and science that are nearly double the Fresno Unified average. It also boasts an impressive 95% graduation rate, significantly higher than both the district and state. This success is particularly notable when compared to nearby schools like Fresno High and Roosevelt High, which serve similar student populations but have lower outcomes. While specialized schools like Design Science Middle College High may have higher test scores, they are much smaller and serve fewer high-need students.

Edison High maintains this strong performance efficiently, spending less per student than some district peers. The school does face a challenge with chronic absenteeism, though its rate is better than the district average and far lower than alternative schools like the Farber School of Credit Attainment. Overall, Edison High has demonstrated over a decade of stable, high performance, making it a standout example of effective education within its community.
