Small city school. Not as many advanced classes and extracurricular as big schools. Good administration.

Edison was so fun and very easy to learn. When I graduate I will like to see more kids in class learning and taking interest in what they want to do in the future. I want the kids to have fun in school but not too much fun. What I learned from Edison was to go after what I wanted and not to give up on my dreams. And too listen to my heart instead of going off how I'm feeling.

Teachers at Thomas A Edison are so kind and nice, they always take the time out to help you with everything and anything. The things I wish that would change, just because we are low income school, that we still should get the same upgrades as non-low income schools.

This school is not focused on education. They are more focused on finding dress code violaters and anything they can hand out a detention,inschool, or Friday class for. I believe uniform dress code should be left to private schools I really don't see the benefit of it in a public school. Edision is...
