Summary

Edison Elementary School in Colorado Springs, CO, is a small PK–5 school in the Colorado Springs School District No. 11, serving 214 students in a high-poverty area where about 78% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Once a middle-of-the-pack school, Edison’s statewide ranking has fallen sharply – from the 50th percentile in 2018–19 to the 21st percentile in 2025–26, placing it in the bottom fifth of Colorado elementary schools. This decline stands out because nearby schools like Stratton Elementary School and Steele Elementary School have maintained strong rankings over the same period, suggesting Edison’s struggles are not simply a district-wide trend.

Academically, Edison’s proficiency rates are well below district and state averages. In 2025–26, only 27.2% of students were proficient in English language arts and 22% in math, compared to state averages of 44.7% and 37.3%. The drop is especially steep by 5th grade, where just 10.3% of students meet math expectations – a major red flag for middle school readiness. Chronic absenteeism is also a concern: 41% of students missed enough school to be considered chronically absent, up from 32.7% the year before. That rate is higher than the state average of 28.4%, though it is actually lower than several nearby schools, including Taylor Elementary School (45.7%) and Jackson Elementary School (44.9%).

What makes Edison’s situation particularly concerning is that its class sizes are already quite small – a student-teacher ratio of 10.4, among the lowest in the area – yet outcomes remain low. Poverty alone doesn’t explain the results: Queen Palmer Elementary School, with a similar free-lunch rate, outscores Edison in both reading and math. Even Academy for Advanced and Creative Learning and James Irwin Elementary School - Howard show that nearby schools with different approaches can achieve better results. Edison’s combination of high poverty, rising absenteeism, and bottom-quartile achievement across all student groups points to school-specific challenges that need focused intervention – not just more staff, but targeted literacy and math support, plus stronger family engagement to get kids to school consistently.

I love my daughter's teachers, and the enrichment they provide. She always comes home excited about what she learned, and wakes up ready to go back again! Close Quote

My kids have been attending this school for 3 years now and while there are a handful of teachers that are great, it is the exception not the rule.
There is a general lack of caring when students get bullied.
My kids have not gotten a lunch break more times than I can count.
They pair grades together now (1st and 2nd, 3rd and 4th etc) due to budget cuts which has not created an improvement.
I'm not very happy with this school. Close Quote
