Summary

Edison Elementary School is a PK–6 school with 357 students at 228 N Broadway St in Dayton, OH, part of the Dayton City district. In the 2025–26 statewide rankings, Edison placed 1520th of 1560 Ohio schools — the 3rd percentile, with 0 stars — making it the lowest-ranked school among its nearby peers. City Day Community School sits at the same 3rd percentile but a slightly better rank (1510/1560), and two other Dayton City schools rank considerably higher: River's Edge Montessori Elementary School (21st percentile) and Ruskin Elementary School (19th percentile). Deca Prep, a nearby charter about 1.25 miles away, is the strongest nearby performer at the 32nd percentile with 2 stars.

Test scores are far below district and state levels. A derived average across Edison's 2025–26 tests is roughly 14% proficient, versus about 27% for the district and about 62% for Ohio. The clearest relative strength is 5th grade ELA at 41.7%, essentially matching the district's 41.1%, though it is still far below the state and has been inconsistent year to year. Severe and persistent weaknesses include 3rd grade math (2.2%), 6th grade math (2.4%), 6th grade ELA (7.3%), and 5th grade science (13.9%), which has hovered around 13–16% in recent years and always below district and state.

Chronic absenteeism is a major differentiator: 46.0% in 2025–26, above the district's 43.8% and the highest among nearby same-district schools, well above River's Edge Montessori Elementary School (12.0%) and Ruskin Elementary School (27.7%). The school's relative effectiveness is very low for most student groups — male students and English Language Learner students rank in the 1st percentile, students from low-income families in the 3rd, and its ranking for African American students fell from the 24th percentile in 2023–24 to the 8th in 2025–26. Resources do not obviously explain the gap: the 2024–25 student-teacher ratio (17.8) is lower than several higher-performing nearby schools, and 2018–19 spending ($11,220 per student) was similar to or above nearby charters. Spending data is only available for 2018–19, and the test-score averages are derived, so treat them as directional.
