Summary

Edison Elementary School is a public elementary school (PK-5) serving 378 students in the Kennewick School District, but it has consistently ranked in the bottom 2% of all elementary schools in Washington state for years.

Academically, the school's proficiency rates are significantly below average, with only about 20% of students proficient in English, Math, and Science, which is roughly 30 points behind the district average. This is despite the school having the highest per-student spending ($20,920) and the lowest student-teacher ratio (12.1) among nearby schools. For comparison, Ridge View Elementary School, located less than two miles away, achieves over 72% proficiency in English with similar per-student funding.

The school's challenges are systemic, as all student subgroups perform in the bottom 3% statewide. While many students come from low-income households, other schools like Hawthorne Elementary School with similar demographics perform significantly better, indicating that factors beyond funding and class size, such as curriculum or instructional practices, are critical. The district may need to examine how resources are used and implement strategies from higher-performing schools to create equitable opportunities for Edison's students.
