We have been incredibly impressed with this dual language elementary school. The academic program is rigorous and engaging, providing students with a strong foundation while fostering critical thinking, creativity, and a love of learning. The dual language model is thoughtfully implemented, allowing students to develop fluency and confidence in two languages while gaining a deeper appreciation for different cultures and perspectives.What truly sets this school apart is its strong sense of community and belonging. From the moment you walk through the doors, you can feel the welcoming and inclusive culture. Teachers, staff, and families work together to create an environment where every child feels seen, valued, and supported. The school celebrates diversity and encourages students to embrace their identities while learning from one another.The dedicated educators go above and beyond to ensure students thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. There is a genuine commitment to building meaningful relationships and creating a positive school experience for every child. We are grateful to be part of a school community that prioritizes excellence, cultural enrichment, and connection. This is a place where students don't just learn—they truly belong.

As a parent, a unicorn school is one that feels safe, has great teachers, and a collaborative administration. Edison feels relatively safe, and all teachers we've had have been great — each trained to identify and handle gifted students. That alone makes this a good school.It would be a great school if the administration were better. The principal's strengths are in managing the school operationally, but leadership, conflict resolution, and genuine engagement with parents are not among them. She tends to see parents as adversaries and pushes their concerns toward the (admittedly well-run) PTA. The enrollment staff is notably unwelcoming — in our experience and in conversations with other families.If you sail into this school easily and never interact with the administration, you will enjoy Edison and your kids will test well through the grades. If you're looking for a collaborative administration, diversity, and general empathy for children, you may be better served elsewhere.
