While Edison Middle School - 06 generally performs above the district and state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, its statewide ranking has declined in recent years, dropping from 15th out of 146 South Dakota middle schools in 2016-2017 to 101st out of 246 in 2024-2025. The school's performance has also fluctuated, with its SchoolDigger rating ranging from 5 stars in 2016-2017 to 2 stars in 2023-2024 and 2024-2025. One area of concern is the school's high chronic absenteeism rates, which have ranged from 20.2% to 25.5% in recent years.

Compared to nearby schools, Edison Middle School - 06 performs better than lower-performing schools in the district, such as George McGovern Middle School -09 and Whittier Middle School - 08, but lags behind higher-performing schools like Patrick Henry Middle School - 07 and Harrisburg North Middle School - 08. The school's diverse student population also faces significant performance disparities between different subgroups, which suggests the need for targeted interventions and support.
