This school is awful, the rules are not enforced so kids do whatever they want. Teachers only care about money, they don’t care about what you learn. The principal is an awful person, (told my mom i need to grow thicker skin when me being bullied was brought up) the kids are so mean because the teac
Posted by a student on 12/3/2025Honestly it’s not the worst but to help with the problems I think administration should care more about academic success than if the football or basketball or track team won. They should care more about the music program and they should probably calm down the field trip dress code. Deadlines should
Posted by a student on 5/7/2019I'm a 7th grader right now and all I have to say for my 2nd year of Edison , I'm saying it's not completely bad but not amazing either. Same teachers are selfish and students don't respect other students. I get bullied in my 1st period lot still. But , what I hate about the school , your not allowed
Posted by a community member on 9/6/2017This school is a large disappointment. Rules are set but not inforced, the focus seems to be on sports not academics. Most of the classes are extremely EASY there are even bogus classes that should be against the law. Response to parents is extremely rude.
Posted by a parent on 5/7/2011Administrative staff is extremely rude, and uncommunicative. The "horror" stories from other parents are appalling! Multiple yearly NCLB failures of this school mean I WILL be exercising my right next year to send my children to an excellent alternative (Blennerhassett) instead of this mismanaged sc

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAfter a recent switch from public school to PCES it has been a refreshing new environment for our family. Our kids have embraced the change and are thriving. As a family we have been welcomed for who we are and included in everything. We love the faith based education beginning at the start of their day as an entire student body, regular religion class, prayers before and after lunch and end of the day prayers. In a few short months we have seen their faith strengthen and their knowledge grow tremendously. The robotics club was a unique and fun new club they joined. Wearing uniforms has simplified our morning routine and we all love it. There is high parent involvement with many different opportunities available to be apart of. The positive of that is it brings families and kids closer uniting the school community. The kids learn cursive starting in 2nd grade which is a missed opportunity is most schools these days. The academics can be somewhat individually tailored to where each student is at because of the small class sizes which is a huge benefit. Please consider PCES when making a school choice. You won't be disappointed.Parent Review2y ago
