GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I love my school for many reasons. I specifically enjoy the CIBACS (Center for International Business and Communication Studies) program. It is a 4 year program that prepares students for the business marketplace. I'm also involved with Swimming and Water Polo, which are both very competitive at my school.

I've had a great experience at Edison High School. High school is really about what you make of it. Edison allows for every student's success and has plenty of great faculty, resources, and ways to get connected and find success as a student. I am very proud to have been an Edison Charger. The school spirit is phenomenal and Edison really tries to be inviting and welcoming to every person.
