Edison is a pretty good school. It is rather crowded but with the budget as it is I'm assuming that most schools are likewise. I really enjoy the block schedule that is offered. It allows for a longer break time, which is definitely needed when lines in the bathroom are extending to outside the door.

Edison High School was a huge disappointment to me. I am a former student and before attending Edison I had just moved here from out of state. Edison is over crowded, the students have poor discipline, and the classes are not challenging. Not exactly a welcoming atmosphere, as all high schools have

I do not like the block scheduling and particularly the '0' period at 7am. Too early for anyone. Two hour classes may be okay for honor students but too long to focus for most. I am adamently again not having a 5th period when a student is in sports. Rules or no rules, Frosh and Soph's can walk off campus
... Read more from lunch at 12:15 until 2:30 to 3 pm. Not Good. Please....only an honor student may stay and 'study', definitely not the normal kid and not mine. Too much down time, too hard to get back on track. Then sports can go to 6 pm or later, they are tired having been at school since 7 am, and who can study when tired and it's that late after dinner. Student says all homework done in class...I have seen None at home. Read less

I do not like the Block scheduling that Edison High School has but if you have a child that excels this school has some wonderful programs (Cibac's, Mun) great sports too. If you have a student that is average and poor at taking tests this may not be the school for your kid. I also feel the school is

They also have a wonderful sign language teacher but she went on maternity leave and the fill in teacher was horrible! So basically Edison has some wonderful qualities and also qualities that aren't so appealing. If your child can't handle 2 hr classes this would not be the right school. Good and poor teachers are at every school. So if you get a incapadible teacher Read less

This school is excellent with a consistently high AYP score. The acdemics excell and now that they have a new principal in D'liese Melendrez there is a new school-wide morale boost that also helps the kids love where they are. My only criticsm is over-crowding.
