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.

Overall academically is great but there is some lack of good teacher and parent involvement in activities. The staff and administrator are okay but would love if they had more student support and activities to motivate good academic success.

The school isnt very big, so you dont get the fullest "highschool experience" but it still is a good school education wise, but IB is a very different course than AP. I wish I went to a school that offered AP classes instead of IB because most colleges are still getting familiar with IB it seems, so applications might be a bit harder even if you have a high GPA.

The best part about Edgewood High School is the community of students and teachers. Everyone is kind and always ready to help. I joined during the pandemics, and I was afraid that my experience at Edgewood may be full of regret, for switching schools' mid-way into my high school career. But I am glad I did transfer school. If I hadn't i would not have met the amazing people who I call my friends and supports. Both peers, staff and educators of all class levels have your best intention in mind.

When I was a student at this school I felt like I was pushed into the IB program which was a lot of extra work and caused my grades to greatly suffer. While I am in college now it was not due to any help from Edgewood. I feel like if I had gone to West Covina High School or Baldwin Park High School...
