Summary

Edison Elementary School serves pre-K through grade 4 in Danville and enrolls 233 students, the smallest enrollment among the five listed schools in Danville CCSD 118. In 2025–26, 37% of students were proficient in English Language Arts (ELA) and 22% in math, above district averages of 27% and 14%, but below state averages of 56% and 40%. The main takeaway is that Edison compares favorably with its district, while proficiency in both subjects remains well below the state level.

Edison’s all-grades scores were higher than those of four district schools—Southwest Elementary School, Meade Park Elementary School, Mark Denman Elementary School, and Liberty Elementary School—but lower than Northeast Elementary Magnet School in both subjects. Grade 3 is a relative bright spot: ELA proficiency was 42%, the highest reported among district schools with grade-3 results, and math was 33%; both were above district results but below state rates. Grade-4 ELA was weaker at 32%, 10 points below Edison’s grade-3 result and 24 points below the state rate.

Results have improved in some areas: ELA rose 11 percentage points from 2024–25 to 2025–26, while math increased 10 points over the longer comparison from 2023–24 but fell 4 points in the latest year. SchoolDigger’s overall ranking improved from the 2nd percentile in 2022–23 to the 18th percentile in 2025–26, though Edison remains a 1-star school; the district is at the 3rd percentile and 0 stars. Chronic absenteeism also fell 26 points, from 45% in 2021–22 to 19% in 2025–26, below district and state rates of 29% and 24%. In 2024–25, the student-teacher ratio was 12.5, the lowest among district schools with data, and 88.8% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness percentile for African American students rose from 14 in 2022–23 to 44 in 2024–25, compared with Edison’s overall 21st percentile in 2024–25—indicating a notably stronger result for how the school serves this group than its overall standing.
