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 generally enjoyed my time at Edsion, but there are some improvements to be made. The academics strongly favour the remedial more than the average or accelerated, and the accelerated program is lacking at best. The honours program is decent, but there are a couple of teachers that are especially awful. Great sports, great gymnasium, great choir, not much else. NO parent involvement to be found anywhere.

Cliques are rampant. Administration is un-involved, tolerant of division within, and non-supportive of both teachers and parents. Open enroll to Patrick Henry before middle school starts!

Leadership is terrible, rules are not applied consistently, a blind eye is turned to bullying. Miserable place.

My daughter attends the Challenge Center and I've enjoyed working with the teachers and Staff.

Awful. Awful. Awful. Awful. Open enroll your child to ANY other school. The first step is admitting you have a bullying problem. Edison’s admin is oblivious to it and refuses to make changes even when the problem is pointed out to them.
