Summary

Edison School is an elementary school located in Salt Lake City, Utah, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 377 students. The school is part of the Salt Lake District, which is ranked 55 out of 93 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Over the past several years, Edison School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Utah elementary schools, with a ranking between 507 and 556 out of 551-572 schools.

One of the key challenges facing Edison School is its very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.8% to 33.9% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages. Additionally, the school's test scores in RISE assessments for Mathematics, Science, and English Language Arts are consistently lower than the Salt Lake District and Utah state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 17% of 5th-grade students at Edison School were proficient or better in RISE Mathematics, compared to 42.6% in the district and 44.4% statewide. The school also has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 98.37% to 99.46% over the past few years, indicating a very high proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

When comparing Edison School to the nearby schools in the same district, such as Mountain View School, Meadowlark School, and Backman School, it becomes clear that Edison is performing significantly worse across various metrics. However, the nearby Escalante School, which serves a similar demographic, has higher test scores and a lower chronic absenteeism rate, suggesting that targeted interventions and best practices could be implemented at Edison School to improve student outcomes.
