Edison Township School District

The Edison Township School District in New Jersey operates 19 schools serving over 13,000 students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. The district includes 13 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, and 2 high schools, with a range of academic performance across the schools.

Several schools stand out as top performers in the district, including John P. Stevens High School, which is consistently ranked among the top 50 high schools in the state, and Woodrow Wilson Middle School and John Adams Middle School, which are both ranked in the top 75 middle schools statewide. At the elementary level, Martin Luther King Elementary School and James Madison Intermediate School are standouts, ranking in the top 100 and top 70 elementary schools respectively.

However, the data also reveals significant disparities in performance across the district, with some schools struggling, particularly in math. There appears to be a correlation between a school's socioeconomic status, as measured by free and reduced-price lunch rates, and its academic performance. The district may benefit from identifying and replicating the successful strategies of its top-performing schools to help raise achievement levels more broadly and address any equity concerns.
