Edison High School

Summary:

Edison High School is a public high school located in Richmond, Ohio, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 418 students. The school is part of the Edison Local District, which is ranked 249 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Edison High School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (96.65%) compared to the state average, with lower representation of minority students. While the school outperforms the state average in subjects like American Government and American History, it lags behind in English II and Geometry. However, the school has maintained a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 91.6% to 94.9% over the past few years, which is above the state average. Additionally, the school has seen a decrease in chronic absenteeism, from 13.9% in 2019-2020 to 9.6% in 2023-2024, which is lower than the state average. The school has also performed exceptionally well in serving its special education and gifted student populations, ranking in the top 45 and top 108 schools in Ohio, respectively, for these subgroups.

Despite the school's relatively high academic performance, it has a significant percentage of students (73.92%) qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Compared to the nearby Harrison Career Center and Jefferson County High School, Edison High School has a much higher percentage of white students and a lower percentage of minority students. However, the nearby schools have a lower percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting different socioeconomic profiles. Over the past several years, Edison High School's statewide ranking has declined, from a high of 389 out of 819 Ohio high schools in 2020-2021 to 344 out of 864 in 2023-2024, indicating that the school may be struggling to keep pace with improvements in other schools across the state.

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.
