Summary

Edison High School in San Antonio, TX, is a large, comprehensive high school within the San Antonio Independent School District (Isd), serving approximately 1,360 students in grades 9-12 from a predominantly low-income community, with nearly 90% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.

The most striking feature of Edison is its "graduation vs. proficiency" paradox. While the school consistently ranks in the bottom 20-25% of Texas high schools for academic performance on standardized tests, it boasts exceptionally high graduation rates—consistently above 93% and reaching as high as 97.5%—with dropout rates below 1.1%. This is a stark contrast to nearby schools like Legacy Of Educational Excellence High School, which had a graduation rate of just 80.8% in 2023-2024. This suggests Edison has a powerful culture focused on keeping students on track to graduate, even if test scores don't reflect grade-level proficiency in core subjects like Algebra I and English. Interestingly, Edison is remarkably similar to Jefferson High School, another large SAISD school with nearly identical demographics and academic rankings, indicating these challenges are systemic within the district's comprehensive high schools rather than unique to Edison.

There are notable bright spots and areas of concern. English Language Learners (ELLs) at Edison consistently outperform the school's overall average, ranking in the 51st percentile statewide in 2024-2025, suggesting effective support programs. However, data shows a dramatic and concerning decline in performance for African American students, dropping from the 78th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 7th percentile in 2025-2026, which warrants immediate investigation. While the school spends about $11,800 per student—on par with other SAISD schools but higher than high-performing charters like Great Hearts Monte Vista North ($10,880)—this investment has not yet translated into higher test scores, highlighting the complex challenges of serving a high-poverty student population.

It’s hilarious that the boundary is like 60 percent white but the school is 2 percent white. It’s a horrible school and ugly as well. It should be shut down Close Quote
