Edgewood is a small high school, that being said, the staff was involved and helpful. The worst part is would be that we were a middle and high school, so we saw a lot of the middle schoolers and it wasn't a very high school experience.

I think the high school is overall pretty good with preparing their students for college but I do think they should work on their safeness especially with the new rule of making students leave their phone in class when they go to the restroom, this can be harmful if there comes a situation such as a school shooting.

When I was a student at this school I felt like I was pushed into the IB program which was a lot of extra work and caused my grades to greatly suffer. While I am in college now it was not due to any help from Edgewood. I feel like if I had gone to West Covina High School or Baldwin Park High School...
