Summary

Thomas A. Edison Elementary School is a public elementary school in Westmont, New Jersey, serving 144 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Haddon Township School District. This high-performing school consistently outperforms state and district averages in academic achievement, particularly in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.

In the 2024-2025 school year, Thomas A. Edison Elementary School ranked in the top 17% of New Jersey elementary schools, with 83.4% of 5th-grade students proficient or better in ELA and 88.9% in Mathematics. The school's performance is especially strong across different student subgroups, including female, male, and white students, ranking in the top 40% and top 13% statewide, respectively. Additionally, the school maintains relatively low chronic absenteeism rates compared to the state and district averages.

When compared to nearby schools, Thomas A. Edison Elementary School outperforms many of its counterparts in the Haddon Township School District and the Collingswood Public School District. However, the school's low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch suggests it serves a relatively affluent student population, raising questions about its ability to effectively support students from lower-income backgrounds and ensure equitable educational opportunities for all.
