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.

My experience at Edgewood High School has been good, I overall stay with my friends but there are times where there are issues that come. Friends come and go, but its normal. I do enjoy coming here to be with my friends and to my classes, its been a good experience and I can't wait to get out and look back during my time in high school.

This is the best Highschool I've ever attended, but that is not saying a lot. (My last school was Joppatowne). The staff is way more friendlier, better magnet programs, etc. However, sometimes I am scared of a shooting, (but that may be an American problem).

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

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.
