Edison Elementary is a K–5 school in Long Beach, California, serving 426 students in Long Beach Unified. Its latest results show a broad academic challenge: in 2025–2026, 22% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 16% in math and 12% in science—below district and state results in all three subjects.

Compared with 10 nearby schools, Edison was second-lowest in ELA and lowest in math and science. Nearby-school averages were 35% in ELA, 31% in math and 23% in science; Edison’s results were 14, 15 and 11 percentage points lower, respectively. Edison also trailed district and state proficiency in every subject: its ELA result was 29 points below the district and 27 below the state; in math, 24 and 22 points below; and in science, 20 and 24 points below. Within Edison, third grade was a relative bright spot, with 33% proficiency in ELA and 26% in math, while fourth grade was weaker at 14% and 10%. Even third grade ranked fourth-lowest among the 11 schools compared in each subject.

Results have declined overall across the four supplied years: ELA fell 13 percentage points from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, math fell 8 points and science fell 6, while state results rose. ELA did improve in the latest year, from 18% to 22%, but the state gaps widened over the four years. SchoolDigger’s overall ranking fell from the 34th percentile to the 8th percentile, and it gives Edison 0 stars; nearby schools rank from the 13th to 66th percentile and have 1–3 stars.
