Better than 100% of Illinois elementary schools

Summary

In Chicago, Edison Elementary Regional Gifted Center serves 265 students in grades K–8, fewer than the nearby comparison schools, which enroll 315 to 1,065. Its strongest headline is how consistently high its results are: in 2025–2026, 97% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA) and 96% in math, far above state, district and nearby-school results.

Edison leads nearby schools in both all-grades subjects and exceeds state and Chicago Public Schools District 299 by wide margins. ELA proficiency was 97%, compared with 56% statewide and 46% districtwide; it was 52 points above the nearby-school average and 22 points above the nearby high, Waters Elementary School. In math, Edison scored 96%, versus 40% statewide and 29% districtwide, and was 63 points above the nearby average. Science was also strong: grade 5 results were 97% and grade 8 results 90%, both higher than state, district and nearby comparisons. Grade 8 is the school’s relative low point, but its scores remain well above state results.

Edison’s ELA results have stayed nearly flat over three years—96.6%, 96.6% and 96.7%—while math rose from 92.7% to 95.7%; the state gaps narrowed by 15 points in ELA and 8 points in math. SchoolDigger ranks Edison 5th of 1,737 statewide, in the 100th percentile with 5 stars; its ranking has remained between 2nd and 12th in the supplied history. By comparison, the district ranks 568th of 738, in the 23rd percentile with 1 star. Other context: chronic absenteeism was 11% in 2025–2026, the lowest reported among nearby schools, and the student–teacher ratio was 13.2 in 2024–2025. The school’s free/reduced lunch eligible measure was 9% in 2024–2025, compared with 23% to 91% at nearby schools; these figures describe context, not causes of test results. Science data do not support a year-over-year comparison.
