Edison Middle School has consistently ranked highly among Illinois middle schools, with a ranking between 64 and 245 over the past 10 years and a 5-star rating for most of that time period. The school consistently outperforms the state and district averages in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics on the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) exams.

In Mathematics, 56.4% of all students at Edison Middle School were proficient or better, compared to 61.1% for the district and 38.5% for the state.

While Edison Middle School's performance is particularly strong in ELA, the school has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 12.2% in the 2022-2023 school year to 25.4% in the 2024-2025 school year, which is higher than the district average of 14.4%. The school's spending per student has also increased from $12,518 in the 2020-2021 school year to $14,725 in the 2023-2024 school year, which is higher than the spending per student at some nearby schools. Overall, Edison Middle School is a high-performing school, but the increase in chronic absenteeism and the need to address equity for all student groups are areas that the school and district should continue to monitor and address.
