Summary

Edison Elementary School is a K–5 public school in Willoughby, Ohio, serving 543 students as part of the Willoughby-Eastlake City district, a mid-tier Ohio district rated 2 stars and ranked 416th of 773 districts statewide.

Academically, Edison ranks 897th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools in 2025–26 — the 43rd percentile, 2 stars — the highest of its same-district peers (Grant Elementary School, Jefferson Elementary School, Royalview Elementary School, and Longfellow Elementary School), though all sit in the same 2-star tier. Performance is uneven by grade. Grade 3 is a clear strength: ELA proficiency is 71.8% and math 64.6%, both above district and state averages. Grade 4 ELA (64.2%) is above the state and above every same-district peer listed, but Grade 4 math (56.3%) trails the district and state. Grade 5 is the weakest area — science 50.7%, ELA 62.7%, and math 50.0%, all below district and state, though Grade 5 math is the highest among its district peers, whose range is 40.7–48.6%. Nearby high performers are far ahead: Kirtland Elementary School scored 81.5% in Grade 3 math and 92.7% in Grade 5 ELA, and Ridge Elementary School also outperformed Edison across the listed subjects.

Chronic absenteeism is 18.6%, better than the district's 24.2% and improved from 24.1% the prior year, but well above Kirtland's 6.9% and Ridge's 6.7%. Edison's free/reduced-lunch rate (46.04%) is lower than every same-district peer, and its student-teacher ratio has improved to 14.6. Measured effectiveness for African American and low-socioeconomic students ranks above the school's overall percentile, while special education effectiveness fell to the 29th percentile in 2025–26 after the 70th and 88th in the two prior years — a change worth monitoring.
