Summary

Edison Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Willoughby, Ohio, serving 527 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Willoughby-Eastlake City School District, which is ranked 400 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Edison Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Ohio elementary schools, with a SchoolDigger rating of 2-3 stars out of 5, indicating below-average performance compared to other schools in the state. The school's academic performance has been mixed, with students generally performing better in English Language Arts than in Mathematics. Notably, Kirtland Elementary School, located just outside the district, has significantly outperformed Edison and the other Willoughby-Eastlake schools.

One area of concern at Edison Elementary is the high chronic absenteeism rate, which has ranged from 16.2% to 28.4% over the past few years, significantly above the state average. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students from low-income families, with 46.49% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. While the school has some bright spots, such as the strong performance of African American and special education students, the overall academic performance lags behind the district and state averages. Addressing the socioeconomic factors and chronic absenteeism issues could be key to improving outcomes at Edison Elementary.
