I think Edison is mediocre as a high school all the coaches are very immature and will make you cry at some point and still get to stay as a coach. The math teachers lack in curriculum and make it hard to understand what they are teaching. Older teachers teach better than the newer ones and care more about their students. The admins pick favorites and it's usually the bad kids who they love to be buddy buddy with which is the opposite of what they need to be doing.

The school was pretty good for a high school. It is a great option for anyone committed to academics as they offer a lot of AP classes that were useful for college credit. The school also has good college readiness programs.

I have been in Edison for all of my 4 years in high school and I have to say I had a blast. I did the 1st year online and the other 3 in person. I had become more social as I went back in person and became more interested in school. The best part was how i could ask anybody for help and I felt like I was learning going beyond what I had planned. The worst part was the long hours in class. I would like to change how classes are being timed and go back to an 8-class schedule.

Without a doubt, I am proud to be apart of the Edison community. As of now, I am a freshman attending Edison because of its medical proffesions magnet, but my experience here is already very enjoyable. The teachers are all great and very respectable, being in the Golden Bear Band is an awesome and e...

I really would prefer another school. I think most people at this school lack a good education, the formatting from previous student reviews speaks for itself.
