4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAbsolutely atrocious learning environment. Guaranteed to find students smoking in the bathrooms. Teachers and staff are completely disrespectful, rude, and simply do not care about the health and well-being of the students. Only focused on academics. Students have reported a strong desire to transfer out due to a lack of actually learning anything. I transferred out 4 years ago and couldn't be more happy with my decision! I was bullied by staff members and students. I was treated differently from the other students which I didn't understand why. Possibly my disability and learning differences? Whatever the case may be my point remains.Other Review7mo ago

"Edgewater id such an amazing beautiful quiet place. There are a lot of friendly people. I’m new here only been here since October 2021 and it’s now December and I love it! It’s very safe and many dog walkers every time you step outside! Great place to raise a family. Schools are close and many grocery stores. I have not been to any community events but they do have virtual ones on book clubs because I received an invitation in the mail. I’m sure anyone who moves here will love it! The only downfall is the parking lol. This neighborhood is very special and I’m sure it will forever be a safe place. "
