Summary:
ZIP code 43944 contains just one high school: Edison High School, a grades 9–12 school in Richmond, Ohio with 368 students, part of the Edison Local district. Because it is the only high school in this ZIP code, the most useful comparisons are Edison High against its district and against Ohio overall, along with its own trend over time.
Edison High is clearly on the rise. Its statewide rank improved from the 60th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 68th in 2024–2025 and the 77th in 2025–2026, and its star rating climbed from 3 stars to 4 stars. That is above the district's own standing of 63rd percentile with 3 stars. In both 2024–2025 and 2025–2026, the school scored above the state average in all six End-of-Course subjects. Strong 2025–2026 results include American History at 89.4% proficient versus 73.2% statewide, American Government at 89.1% versus 71.6%, Geometry at 66.7% versus 43.3% — a 23.4 percentage point gap — and English II at 74.5% versus 62.7%.
A few areas deserve attention. Chronic absenteeism is 18.3%, higher than the district's 14.7%, even though the graduation rate is a strong 94.6% and matches the district. Algebra I is the one subject where Edison High trails the district, at 64.6% versus 69.2%, and it dipped slightly year over year, though it remains above the state average. Biology also slipped a little, from 75.7% to 74.5%. About 70% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, which makes the above-state results especially notable. Keep in mind that some figures come from different years — spending data is from 2018–2019 — so comparisons are best read as directional rather than as a single-year snapshot.
