The best parts of Edwardsville High school mostly revolve around the athletic atmosphere. Whether it's going to football games or supporting the band, the school spirit for our sports and activities is always shown.

I would say the worst parts about the school is the bathrooms because of kids who vandalize or vape in them but the best part of the school is the teachers. All of the teachers are so amazing and do their best to help students learn but they also care about the mental state of students and make sure that when students reach out for help they get it. Even when student don't reach out for help when our teachers sense something is of they reach out to the students. I admire all of the teachers I have had and overall they made high school amazing for me at Edwardsville High School

My children have very different interests and personalities, and both loved EHS. The school has a wide variety of clubs and activities. Academically, they were incredibly well prepared for college.

Shouldn’t even be considered a school. They only focus on sports and race sensitivity training. Do not send your kid here if you want them to succeed at academics.

Most of the teachers seem to truly care about the students. I did experience an extremely difficult administrator that I don't think cared about the kids.
