Edison Elementary School

I would give this school a huge 10

I am a substitute teacher and Diehl is lacking in a lot of areas. Substitute teachers like myself come to this school to help out when the permanent teachers are out. On that note we come to give assistance to Diehl to try to make the day easier on all the faculty. Most of the students that I have met at the school are nice, and very very few teachers are also. Most of the faculty/administration are a different story. Very few teachers are willing to be welcoming, helpful or even nice to substitutes and most of the administration is the same way. One time I was waiting to be helped and I was completely ignored, the certain administrative person was to busy talking about fishing. The secretary is a major issue, she treats substitutes like they are below her precious self. I know that I don't appreciate being treated that way and other substitutes don't either. I am never coming back to Diehl to substitute, I will go to any other school, but never this one again.

My child went to HFS and has since transferred to one of the Erie public schools. Say what you want about public schools, but at least the curriculum is excellent. The learning material is up to date, and the teachers are great! My child is so far behind after going to HFS' he is now having to stay after school in order to catch up. He got straight A's at HFS because it was too easy. Some of the teachers shouldn't be teaching. I wasted so much money paying for my kids to go there to get a mediocre education. I wish I would've pulled them out sooner. I'm warning you don't send your kids there but if you do, make sure they have some sort of tutor to teach them what they are not learning at HFS because trust me the curriculum is horrible and out dated. Also, make sure you are talking to your child daily about what is going on at that school because my children have had some negative and inappropriate experiences with teachers and principal. Not to mention they will embarrass the heck out of your child if you are late paying tuition. Very inappropriate. Just sayin.
