Edison has several advanced and specialty programs. Some programs at Edison are Career & Technology Education, Dual Credit Options, College In Schools (CIS), Architecture Construction Engineering – ACE, and Edison Entrepreneurship Academy. Students are supported and encouraged by the school and the community to set goals and make plans to achieve their post-secondary aspirations. Edison has several student support services such as, but not limited to...AVID College and Career Readiness Program, School Based Clinic, College Possible, Check & Connect Student Engagement Program, Restorative Advocates and Coaches, Collaborative Counseling Team, Academic Counselors, Social Workers, Health Office, Upward Bound Vision Quest, a College & Career Center, and more. Edison has a team that includes parents/families, students, and community members. The team collaborates in setting goals for the school, develops an action plan, and makes decisions for the school. The Edison Community and Sports Foundation encompasses Edison families, alumni, and current staff. The foundation supports and rewards scholars for their hard work and determination. Each year, ECSF awards 40+ scholarships to the senior class. Edison is an IB school. The IB Diploma Program is recognized as a superior education, preparing students to do rigorous academic work and succeed at post-secondary institutions around the world. The program encourages students to think from an international perspective while first developing an understanding of their own cultural and national identity. The emphasis on interdisciplinary learning requires that students study courses across six disciplines. The Program includes six IB subjects and examinations, 150 hours of CAS (Creativity, Action, Service), the Theory of Knowledge course, and a 4,000-word independent Extended Essay.The reason why I scored Edison a "4" for learning and teaching is because I strongly feel that all teachers and all schools always have room to strengthen and grow to best fit the needs of each individual student. I feel it is critical to have a growth mindset as educators and work along side students. It is critical to keep up to date with technology and the resources available to education (the tools and systems) to empower students to achieve their goals and uplift student voices.

My son attended 6-8. Overall I think it was a good school! There is still a lot of drama happening between the students, but I do feel like that was a small part of the ever day life there. I saw lots of positive changes in the three years my son attended to bring the focus back to learning.

Test scores don't give the full picture of a great school. My kids test above average for the school and yet they are still challenged and engaged in learning. Every single staff member my kids and I have interacted with have been helpful and kind. I couldn't ask for a better community for my kids! I love PIllsbury and am so happy my kids get to go there.
