Edison does a great job of providing its students with countless opportunities Students are provided with numerous programs that help us all throughout high school, and while preparing to apply for colleges. Edison is a school that teaches you that there is help available, you just have to be willing to ask. You have to be responsible with your time, and use the resources provided for you wisely.

The school was a good start to my upper educational journey, it gave me the tools to get a good start on college. Although, the atmosphere of the school was it's biggest issue, there was little discipline in the students and little preventative measures for them making bad decisions. But again the education and the teachers prepared me well for college.

My best experience in Edison are the teachers and the lessons that are really well taught. A worst experience would be a few strict teachers but all is good. What a change I would like to see would be having a but more better food then the food the school serves now.

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.
