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.

The school was a good start to my upper educational journey, it gave me the tools to get a good start on college. Although, the atmosphere of the school was it's biggest issue, there was little discipline in the students and little preventative measures for them making bad decisions. But again the education and the teachers prepared me well for college.

My experience with Edison High school is relatively good. There has been some scary moments at school with like fighting and things of that sort but that's all. Most of the teachers are amazing and will say hello as you pass by or they will smile. Sports at Edison are decent some teams are amazing but some aren't that great but I'm not in a sport so I shouldn't be talking. The arts at Edison are the hidden gems with all the arts programs being amazing.

As of now, I am a freshman attending Edison because of its medical proffesions magnet, but my experience here is already very enjoyable. The teachers are all great and very respectable, being in the Golden Bear Band is an awesome and e...

I really would prefer another school. I think most people at this school lack a good education, the formatting from previous student reviews speaks for itself.
