Overall I think that there are a lot of staff in our school who try to help when it comes to college and life as a whole. But then there's so many staff and students who just don't really care about the lives of other students and just cause havoc and mayhem for the rest of us which I think should be taken care of. Sadly it is not but thankfully this is my last year there.

My overall experience at Tomas A. Edison High School is a nice experience because I arrived at a difficult time because of the language, I was new to this country and yet they welcomed me at the school in a very nice way, I made many friends and I also get along really well with the teachers.

Some of the worst experiences in Edison would be the poor management of students and the safety of students. Some of the best experiences would be the connection made through sports with people.
