La escuela es buena pero la experiencia por los demás no la ase tan buena

The staff at Edison are caring, engaged, and provide a healthy, positive learning environment for their students. (So often reviews on sites like this are left as a last resort for frustrated individuals, aka the squeaky wheel getting the grease.)Overwhelmingly, through my discussions with current families, parents are thrilled with our school’s offerings for our students. My experience with K-4 so far has been incredibly positive with clear communication, opportunities for feedback, and engaging learning opportunities.Is our school perfect? Certainly not, because I believe every school has its weaknesses, but it has been a wonderful learning environment for our family. Family volunteers are an important part of our learning community and they work hard to fill in the gaps in funding for programs, equipment, and student enrichment.

Patience is a virtue. I have two daughters who are English experts enrolled in this school. For the first Primary years of school (K-3) it is expected that the English will not be the primary focus (thus the Dual Language program). Students who's 1st language is English need to gain a firm grasp on the new language they are learning (in order to learn fluency). Yes, tests done in English may show the grade scores as lower, BUT the English speaking students will develop much quicker in the Upper grades as they progress rapidly in their 1st language, English. It is an 8 year commitment to bringing your child to complete Spanish/English fluency. I believe that Dual language schools should not be tested in a State Standard way. Immersion schools should develop a different type of Universal Bi-lingual Test in order to demonstrate that the program is not failing.... It is in fact progressing, beyond one language. I recommend this school if you want your child to gain knowledge beyond one language. The commitment involves the parent being supportive to the school, teachers, students, other parents, and most importantly to their own child's new embarkment of dual language proficiency.
