Posted by a parent on 2/28/2026Wonderful experience, my daughter has attended since pre-k/ECE and is due to move on to middle school this year. Excellent faculty and community!
Posted by a parent on 4/23/2018We are near completion of our first year at Valdez. My kiddo is in the native English speaking Kindergarten class. We choiced in. I will say I am impressed with all of the counting, arithmetic, writing and especially reading that my kiddo has learned! All of the teachers seem really engaged and pass

Posted by a parent on 10/10/2013Please don't let the Great Schools rating fool you. I am not sure how they come up with their rating system as we have been at a 1 since we started at the school and our scores have gone up every year. Last year's 3rd grade class had 60% proficient or advanced and those stats were for both native En

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAs 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.Parent Review1mo ago - Academia Ana Marie Sandoval
