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.

Edison High School is very diverse. The rallies they hold always showcase different cultures and brings us together. The staff are very friendly and the teachers I've had make me feel like I have the resources needed to get into a good college. The only complaint I have about the school is the area. It can make me feel unsafe at times and has led to a few lockdowns.

My high school life has been pretty good in Edison. I've enjoyed every year here and believe most of the teachers are good and try their hardest for their students to go above and beyond.

My experience at Edison High School is a good experience. I have great friends and the teachers are nice. School safety is a little sketchy for me because we are always getting threats and there is a lot of shooting around my school. Sports are good too, I run track and the team is good. My counselor could be better. I say this because they take too long to respond or they don't respond at all. Overall, it's a god school.

Unfortunately this school has gone downhill in the last 5 years. There are numerous fights on campus, racial division, lack of learning with videos being taken on phones constantly during class. Many parents have been transferring their students out. Lack of leadership, poor morale and stressed out...
