We have a 2nd grader and a Kindergartener attending Edison. As a parent, I have had a positive experience with the staff, the teachers, and the principal who genuinely cares about the students and the families. I cant speak for the Special Ed classes, but so far my kids teachers have been wonderful. The kids are building solid friendships and I have seen proactive measures taken when it comes to poor behavior or bullying. Families are very much involved as well.

"The bus is always running late or early but if you have their app it is very manageble. Around 5 minute walk to get to the park, 5-20 minutes to the nearest store, and very close to reasturants only a mile."

"This part of Alameda's East End is superb for those who like to walk instead of driving to all of the daily stops like shopping, eating out, dropping the kids off to elementary school. The neighborhood has homeowners and renters of all ages who are community minded and look out for one another. And we can't forget about the incredible architecture found all over Alameda either. Homes date back to the late 1800's and feature some of the most beautiful charming details you will ever see in a home. "
