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 believe that my school has potential. I think if the school listened to the wishes and demands of the students more, the students would listen more. I think if we used the school money for things we actually needed like better bathrooms or better foods for the students, the students would care more. I think if the teachers cared more about the good students other than only focusing on the bad students then we'd be a lot better. I think if they cared about the community more the school would be better as a whole.

Even though I have only been at Edgewood for one year the school can be a very welcoming place. The worst part of the experience is the fights that happen at my school. The best part is the program I am in ( IB program) I felt like it is preparing me well for my future.

My son graduated from here in 2023 and my daughter is now a freshman. The Principal is very nice but at the same time a no-nonsense person. The staff here are great. I was also a substitute teacher here in 2021-2022 and had no issues at all

My child is a straight A student and was suspended for the very first time because she defended herself after a little boy she didn't know walked up to her and dump a basket of gym stuff on top of her head. Well let's say she got suspended and he did not. He had zero consequences and was in school t...

It’s like that movie DANGEROUS MINDS. There are fights at this school literally every WEEK!!! Two weeks ago my son along with a crowd of other students were trapped inside the school right at dismissal time due to a five person fight involving knives at the end of the school day blocking the exit.
