Summary

Edison Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Minot, North Dakota, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 448 students. The school is part of the Minot 1 school district and has consistently outperformed the district and state in academic proficiency over the past several years.

Edison Elementary stands out for its strong academic performance, with 55% of students proficient or better in math and 47% proficient or better in reading, compared to 42% and 39% respectively for the Minot 1 district, and 41% and 40% for the state of North Dakota. This trend of higher academic achievement has been consistent, with Edison maintaining a lead of 5-10 percentage points in both subjects. The school's relatively low chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 19% to 26%, is also lower than some nearby schools like Sunnyside Elementary (20%) and Washington Elementary (20%).

While Edison Elementary has a higher per-student spending, ranging from $10,085 to $15,759, compared to the state average, it also serves a more economically diverse student population, with a lower percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (26.12%) than some nearby schools. This suggests that the school's strong academic performance may not be solely attributable to socioeconomic factors. However, the school's student-teacher ratio of 16.6 is higher than some nearby schools, which could be an area for potential improvement.

IMPORTANT NOTE: North Dakota does not publish exact assessment percentages; instead, results are reported as ranges (e.g., 20-29%) to protect student privacy in smaller groups. The proficiency rates displayed on SchoolDigger are calculated using midpoint imputation—the center value of each reported range. Actual values may differ by up to 5 percentage points from the figures shown.

About North Dakota Assessment Data: To protect student privacy, the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction reports assessment results as percentage ranges rather than exact values. SchoolDigger calculates proficiency rates using midpoint imputation, which uses the center value of each reported range. For example, a reported range of 20-29% is represented as 24.5%. As a result, the proficiency rates shown may vary by approximately ±5 percentage points from actual values. This variance is most significant for individual grade/subject combinations and diminishes when data is aggregated across multiple grades or subjects.

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERS: Not all boundaries are included. We make every effort to ensure that boundaries are up-to-date. But it's important to note that these are approximations and are for general informational purposes only.
