Summary

Edison Middle is a public middle school located in Janesville, Wisconsin, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 597 students. The school is part of the Janesville School District, which is ranked 255 out of 426 districts in Wisconsin and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Edison Middle has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Wisconsin middle schools, with test scores below the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels. However, the school performs better in certain subgroups, such as Hispanic students and English Language Learners, where it ranks in the top half or top third of Wisconsin middle schools. Additionally, Edison Middle has a high chronic absenteeism rate and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating challenges related to student engagement and support for economically disadvantaged students.

Comparing Edison Middle to nearby high-performing schools, such as Edgerton Middle and Milton Middle, which rank in the top third and top quarter of Wisconsin middle schools, respectively, could provide insights into effective practices that could be implemented to improve Edison Middle's overall performance. Additionally, focusing on the school's strengths in supporting certain subgroups could offer valuable strategies to apply across the broader student population.
