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.

I attended to this high school from my 9 grade until my senior year and my best part of my experience was my teacher and the club i was in. Folklorico was one of the best clubs for me just because i love that dance and it was part of my culture. One of my favorite teacher their was a big support she help us create that club and make it into something bigger another best experience i that me and some classmate decided to sit down and we talked about how we would love to make a ceremony for out Hispanic parent to understand what the graduation meant but in Spanish we all came up with it and my teacher Ibarra she made it happen along with all my classmate now Edison High school has Latinx graduation.

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.

I keep hearing of many families also transferring out. There were fights ALL the time, my son would c...

Many parents have been transferring their students out. Lack of leadership, poor morale and stressed out...
