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 would love if the school's diversity was higher in both students and faulty. Our education level is wonderful though and I am thankful for the opportunities.

Choosing to go to Florida Southwestern was the best decision I made during my high school years. Not only were the teachers at FSW amazing, but they made sure you were on the right path for graduation. While enrolled at FSW I am able to take college courses to earn credit towards my AA degree. This means when I graduate from high school, I will also have my Associative of Arts degree as well. Going to FSW I've learned a lot academically and a lot about how to survive college. Because I went to Florida Southwestern I am excited and ready to take the next step on to college.

The smaller class sizes are really great and make it easier to talk to your professors. Mrs Christine Smith is the best math teacher ever! All the professors are very friendly and approachable

Edison Collegiate High School is a unique school that offers students in the community the opportunity to earn an AA degree simultaneously while earning credits for a high school diploma. Yes, in order to gain admission into the school, one must enter into a lottery. Awful! No standards! ECHS allows...

Edison is awesome, it has so many doors of opportunity. In first graduating class 65% of them graduated with their AA. That being said the teachers are awesome, and if you work hard it all pays off in the long run.
