Summary

Edison Elementary is a standout K-8 public school serving 390 students in Bow, WA, within the Burlington-Edison School District, and has shown remarkable, consistent improvement to become a 4-star school ranked in the top quarter of all Washington schools.

What truly sets Edison apart is its exceptional academic performance compared to other schools in its own district. For example, its students are proficient in English and math at rates nearly double the district average, dramatically outperforming peers at schools like Allen Elementary and Lucille Umbarger Elementary. Impressively, the school achieves these top-tier results while spending less per student than most district schools and provides exceptional support, ranking in the 97th percentile statewide for its special education students.

Edison's success story is even more notable because the Burlington-Edison School District overall ranks in the lower third of the state, making Edison a clear outlier. The school's performance is strong enough to rival schools in higher-ranked neighboring districts like Anacortes, holding its own against Mount Erie Elementary and Island View Elementary. This consistent upward trajectory over the past six years suggests Edison has developed effective, sustainable practices that successfully support all learners.
