Close knit, small town school. All the adults know all the kids and try to do what is best for the student as an individual. Options for class times, options to meet the language requirement, communication could be improved.

Being a 2023 grad, a lot of my high school was taken away due to COVID. I loved my time at Edison and having such an amazing, tight-knit community. Staff and teachers would always be there to help, no matter the circumstance. I wish there was more guidance on college or trade schools for those interested. It felt like you had to bring up the conversation with a counselor, but some are too shy to do that. I loved being able to feel at home.

Everyone knows everyone, we are a small school. The best part is we all help and care about each other.

I got my daughter away from this school because she wasn't one of the chosen ones. She was bullied, harassed and ignored by students and teachers alike. When I witnessed the offenses or her dad did and we went directly to the administration or teachers directly we were basically ignored and nothing...
