Summary

Edison Elementary is a public K–6 school in Centralia, Washington, serving 313 students in an area with relatively high economic need. It is part of the Centralia School District, which ranks in the 18th percentile statewide. Edison ranks 667th of 1,138 Washington elementary schools, placing it in the 41st percentile with a two-star rating, and it is currently the highest-ranked elementary school in its district.

Edison’s strongest academic distinction is science: 51.06% of students were proficient, slightly above Washington’s 50.95% and well above the district’s 34.77%. This was also the highest science result among the district schools, ahead of Oakview Elementary School at 48.00% and Fords Prairie Elementary at 32.88%. Edison also exceeded the district in math and English Language Arts, although its 35.29% math and 37.77% ELA proficiency rates remained below state averages. Fifth grade was a standout, with 57.45% proficiency in ELA and 46.81% in math—above state rates in both subjects.

Parents should note the sharp contrast between fifth grade and earlier grades. Third- and fourth-grade ELA results were 26.53% and 24.44%, while fourth-grade math was 26.67%, making fourth grade the clearest area for improvement. Edison’s overall ranking improved substantially from the prior year, but its longer-term results have been mixed, and ELA has declined since 2023–24. The school serves a student population in which 77% qualified for free or reduced-price lunch, similar to its Centralia peers, while its low-income subgroup ranked in the 49th percentile statewide. Its special education subgroup ranked in the 16th percentile, an important area to monitor. Edison spent $19,363 per student—more than its district peers—but reported a 16.6 student-teacher ratio.
