Summary

Thomas A Edison Elementary School is a PK–6 neighborhood school at 7025 Madison Ave in Hammond, Indiana, serving 705 students as part of the School City of Hammond, a district ranked 351st of 374 in Indiana.

Edison currently ranks 937th of 1,015 Indiana schools — the 8th percentile, with 0 stars. Among the six Hammond elementary schools compared here, it lands fourth of six in overall rank and in every tested subject, so it is reliably mid-pack among local peers but near the bottom statewide. Its most distinctive academic feature is that math (16.92%) and science (16.18%) run above the district averages (13.16% and 15.52%), while English/language arts (12.63%) falls below the district's 14.83% — the reverse of the usual pattern. Third-grade math, at 28.95%, is a genuine bright spot, nearly 8 points above district. Grades 5 and 6 are the weak points: 5th-grade ELA and math both sit at 8.26%, and 6th-grade math at 5.81% is the lowest figure in the dataset. Chronic absenteeism, however, improved sharply, dropping 7.4 points in one year to 28.6% — just below the district's 28.9% and the school's best trend.

Nearby comparisons are striking. Students 1.21 miles away at James B Eads Elementary School in the School Town of Munster attend a school in the 91st percentile, with ELA proficiency about 52 points higher and absenteeism of 7.9%, even though Munster spends roughly the same or less per student. Edison also faces tightening resources: per-student spending has fallen 7.6% from its peak, and its student–teacher ratio of 19.3 is the second-highest among Hammond peers.
