Edison Elementary School

Edison Elementary sits in one of Erie's more working-class neighborhoods, and its rankings reflect the real challenges that come with serving a community where many families are navigating significant economic pressures. That said, families who are deeply embedded in the city and committed to their local school will find a community-oriented environment where teachers know their students well. Erie itself has a gritty, lakeside character — affordable, unpretentious, and tightly knit — and for families who value staying rooted in the city rather than chasing suburban options, Edison is part of that fabric.
