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 home to a very diverse campus and empathic teachers. I've made many friends over the years because the campus promoted many club activities and school events. The staff are very kind and considerate.

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.

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...
