Summary

Edison Middle School is a grades 7–8 school in Massillon, Ohio, serving 585 students as part of Perry Local, and it ranks 113th of 1,046 Ohio middle schools — the 89th percentile, with 4 stars, the highest ranking in its visible history. Nearly 45% of its students are economically disadvantaged (44.6% qualify for free or reduced lunch), yet its results resemble those of a much wealthier district.

Across five core state tests, roughly 78% of Edison students scored proficient against a state average near 57%. Eighth-grade math is 84.4% proficient (state: 52.0) and 7th-grade math is 70.5% (state: 48.6). Math proficiency climbed about 18–20 points at both grade levels over two years, with science improving as well. Compared with Jackson Memorial Middle School, about six miles away, Edison is stronger in math at both grade levels while serving nearly twice the share of low-income students and spending about $1,475 less per student; Jackson leads in 8th-grade English and science. Against Massillon Junior High School — the closest match by grades and size — Edison's proficiency is roughly double (84.4 vs. 33.8 in 8th-grade math) while spending $2,579 less per student.

The school's most distinctive strength is how well its highest-need students perform: low-income students rank in the 92nd percentile statewide among similar students, above the school's own 89th percentile overall — an unusual pattern. The clearest weakness is attendance. Chronic absenteeism stands at 19.9%, well above the 12.7% at its feeder, Pfeiffer Intermediate School, meaning roughly one in five students misses enough school to put their learning at risk. Attendance, not instruction, looks like the biggest remaining lever.
