Summary

Edison Elementary School is a PK–5 public school in Denver, CO, serving 583 students, and it ranks among the very best elementary schools in the state. Part of School District No. 1, Edison holds a 5-star rating and is currently ranked #32 out of 943 Colorado elementary schools, placing it in the 97th percentile — an extraordinary bright spot in a district that overall ranks in the 38th percentile with a 2-star rating.

On the most recent CMAS assessments, Edison's students dramatically outperform district and state averages: 76.1% are proficient in English Language Arts (versus 42.5% for the district and 44.7% for the state), 72.4% in math (versus 35.0% and 37.3%), and 71.6% in 5th-grade science (versus 33.2% and 36.1%). Edison is also the highest-ranked school in its surrounding area, finishing 113 positions ahead of the next-best nearby school, Valdez Elementary School, and well above Brown International Academy, Centennial A School for Expeditionary Learning, and Rocky Mountain Prep Berkeley. Just a third of a mile away, Rocky Mountain Prep Berkeley posts a 34.7% ELA proficiency rate and 30.8% in math — both less than half of Edison's rates. Edison also has the lowest chronic absenteeism rate in the area at 11.4%, compared to the district's 38.1%, and only 18.0% of its students qualify for free or reduced lunch, the lowest share among nearby schools.

This level of success is anything but recent. Edison has earned a 5-star rating every year since 2020-2021 and has climbed from #195 in 2015-2016 to its current #32 ranking, with strong results across male, female, White, and Hispanic student subgroups. One area for parents to watch: the school's gifted and talented students rank in the 72nd percentile statewide, which is solid but not as dominant as the school's overall performance, suggesting that even a top-tier school has room to grow in challenging its highest-achieving learners.

What people are saying

by a parent
Thursday, June 9, 2011

The new principal at Edison is haughty, egocentric, and completely ignorant to the needs of students and parents. She has created an atmosphere of distrust, hostility, and uncertainty. I cannot believe that in a district as large as DPS principals with no prior teaching experience or familiarity with the magnet program are placed in schools such as Edison. It appears the district supports the maneuvers of homogenization of the curriculum and instruction. It is simply disappointing that rather than raising the bar to the level of the best and brightest, this administration is on the path to mediocrity. Close Quote
