Summary

Thomas A. Edison Elementary School in Westmont, New Jersey, serves 159 students from Pre-K through grade 5 in the Haddon Township School District. Its results vary considerably by grade: grades 3 and 4 are relatively strong in English Language Arts (ELA), while grade 5 is a clear concern. In 2025–26, grade 5 students scored 65% in ELA, 35% in math, and 35% in science; the most important finding is that grade 5 math and science results lagged both district and nearby-school averages.

ELA is the school’s strongest subject overall, especially in grades 3 and 4. Those grades scored 71% and 81% in ELA, above the nearby-school averages of 69% and 75%, and above district and state results. Across grades 3–5, ELA averaged 72%, compared with 68% for the district and 76% at nearby schools. Math is the largest weakness against nearby schools: the school’s three-grade average was 55%, versus 74% nearby and 65% districtwide, though it was above the state average of 47%. Science averaged 35%, above the state’s 27% but below the district’s 46% and nearby schools’ 52%. In grade 5, every nearby school with a math result scored at least 53%.

Results have shifted sharply from year to year: grade 5 math fell 54 points and science 48 points from 2024–25 to 2025–26, so the latest results are worth asking about rather than treating as a lasting pattern. SchoolDigger ranks the school at the 71st percentile with four stars, down from the 83rd percentile the prior year but above its 26th-percentile standing in 2015–16. SchoolDigger’s group rankings show a notable recent drop for White Students: the group ranked at the 53rd percentile in 2025–26, compared with the school’s overall 71st percentile and the group’s 87th percentile the year before. The student-teacher ratio was 15:1 in 2024–25, the third-highest among nearby schools; 3% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. Chronic absenteeism was 7% in 2024–25, below the district’s 8% and state’s 14%.
