Summary

Edison Junior High School serves 398 students in grades 7–8 in Rock Island, Illinois. Its latest results show that English language arts (ELA) is its clearest challenge: in 2025–26, seventh-grade proficiency was 33%, compared with 58% statewide and 35% in the district. Every nearby school reporting seventh-grade ELA scored higher, making ELA—especially in seventh grade—the most important area of concern.

Compared with the district and state, Edison’s strongest result is eighth-grade science: 37% were proficient, essentially matching the district’s 37%, though below the state’s 52%; nearby results ranged from 30% to 64%. Math is weaker: all-grades proficiency was 20%, versus 22% in the district and 40% statewide. ELA overall was about 35%, essentially matching the district but well below the state’s 56%. In eighth-grade ELA, Edison had 37%, below the state’s 63% and district’s 47%; only John Deere Middle School was slightly lower among nearby schools reporting that grade.

Scores have improved since 2023–24: ELA rose from 16% to 35%, and math from 11% to 20%, but math’s gap with the state widened from 17 to 20 points over that period. Chronic absenteeism fell from 43% in 2022–23 to 34% in 2025–26, yet remained above the state’s 24% and the district’s 31%. SchoolDigger placed Edison at the 10th percentile with 0 stars in 2025–26, down from the 20th percentile in 2022–23 despite rising test scores. In 2024–25, 77% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, the highest share among nearby schools with a comparable measure; its 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 14.9, above the nearby-school average of 13.8. SchoolDigger’s group-specific statewide rankings also showed a notable difference in how well the school serves different groups: English Language Learner Students ranked at the 44th percentile in 2024–25, while Multi-racial Students ranked at the 1st percentile.
