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.

I have gone to this school for 7th-12th grade, and I am so glad that I have gotten to experience this school. From the moment I started my academic journey here, I was immediately prepped for the years to come. Especially in my high school years, Edgewood has greatly prepared me for college and life after graduation. I have met many amazing and funny people during my time here, and the teachers are truly amazing. Every teacher tries to make a personal connection and help as much as possible.

Edgewood has a great school spirit and encouraged work ethic. In addition, I love the atmosphere at the school always pushing students to do their best. However, some of the classes can snowball and are hard to recover from. In addition, I would prefer for one's grade not to be completely dependent on the student's text scores. For example, if one were to not perform well on the exam, their grade would not be unalterable to an extent.

Some of the teachers at this school take things way to far and dont take the time to understand that we have a lot going on outside of their classroom.

Edgewood is going downhill fast. Most of the teachers I have right now are pretty bad. The physics teachers class average is about a 70, with those people working hard. Other teachers just use other teachers work from other schools and hand it out mindlessly. Guidance is no help for students trying...

(2/2) (Please make sure to read the comment before this one first.) This only applies to specific people, as I would like to say again. They are overall great people. After that, I would like to talk about something more positive. The leadership at this school is incredible. We have a great principa...
