Summary:
The Edison Elementary District in California contains only one elementary school, Orangewood Elementary, which serves grades K-4 with a total enrollment of 634 students. While the school's performance on standardized tests is generally below the district and state averages, it faces significant challenges related to student attendance and socioeconomic factors.
Orangewood Elementary's chronic absenteeism rate of 38.3% is notably higher than the state average, which can negatively impact student learning and academic achievement. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (86.75%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. These socioeconomic factors may contribute to the school's lower academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics.
Compared to the district and state averages, Orangewood Elementary's performance on Smarter Balanced Assessments is consistently below, with the exception of 3rd-grade Mathematics, where the school's performance is slightly above the district and state averages. The school's district rank is 1090 out of 1568 in California, and it is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. Addressing the challenges faced by Orangewood Elementary will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach that considers the unique needs and circumstances of the school and its student population.
