About Edison Elementary School
Edison Elementary School serves 553 students across pre-kindergarten through fifth grade in Denver, Colorado. It operates as a regular public school with a student-teacher ratio of 17.3:1 — keeping class sizes at a level where individual attention is realistic. The numbers place Edison in genuinely rare company.
It ranks 4th out of 222 public schools in Denver and 18th out of 1,815 statewide, outperforming 99% of Colorado public schools overall. Among Colorado's 1,006 elementary schools alone, it places 15th. Those standings map directly onto its scores: a 9.6 out of 10 on academics, a 9.4 on growth, and an overall composite of 9.3 — enough to earn the Exceptional rating.
The growth score is worth pausing on. Academic strength can reflect the incoming student population as much as the instruction itself. Sustained, high growth signals that the school is actively moving students forward year over year, not just serving students who were already ahead.
Edison runs both numbers near the top of the state, which makes the rankings consistent across every way you cut the data.
