Edison Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Illinois elementary schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 1,734 and 2,034 out of over 2,000 schools. The school has maintained a 1-star or 0-star rating from SchoolDigger during this time period. Edison Elementary School faces significant challenges, with high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 32.3% to 47.7%, well above the state average and nearby schools like Southwest Elementary (29.4%) and Meade Park Elementary (38.7%). The school's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better on the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) exams, is consistently well below state and district averages across both English Language Arts and Mathematics.

While some nearby schools in the Danville CCSD 118 district also struggle, the stark contrast with the higher-performing Northeast Elementary Magnet School, which had 32.6% of students proficient or better in ELA compared to just 12.7% at Edison Elementary, suggests that targeted interventions and a focus on improving attendance and instruction could potentially help Edison Elementary improve its outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
