Summary:
The Thomas Edison area has two K–8 elementary schools serving about 1,189 students, with strong overall district performance and notable differences in attendance between the schools.
Thomas Edison - South is the strongest documented performer. It ranked 29th among 563 Utah schools in 2025–26, placing it around the 95th percentile with a five-star rating. South also had much lower chronic absenteeism than the district and state: 14.7%, compared with 20.9% and 23.8%. Its average proficiency was about 66% in English language arts, 67% in math, and 71% in science, exceeding district averages in nearly every reported grade and subject. Science showed particularly strong improvement from the prior year. The main academic concern is eighth-grade math, where proficiency was 37.1%, below both district and state results. Seventh-grade performance was also more uneven than results in the lower grades.
Thomas Edison - North is smaller, with 490 students, and has a slightly lower student–teacher ratio and FRL rate than South. However, its chronic absenteeism rate of 29.9% is considerably higher than South’s and above both district and state levels, making attendance the clearest area for attention. Current academic test scores and rankings were not provided for North, so its present academic performance cannot be fairly compared with South’s. Families comparing the schools should therefore view South as the better-documented academic option while seeking updated achievement and growth information for North. Overall, the area benefits from a highly rated district, but school-level experiences may differ substantially, especially in attendance.
