Edison Elementary School is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Council Bluffs Comm School District school district, located in Council Bluffs, IA with about 459 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 5th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 32 teachers, Edison Elementary School has a student/teacher ratio of about 14:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1.
