Bad school, the system doesn't care about your well-being or mental health. I can say from experience. I was a victim of being bullied at this school and the teachers I had didn't care, they knew I was getting bullied but they did no action whatsoever.

Read some of the comments about the principal and I have to strongly disagree. She cares about the students and is very involved. I have gone to school many time and have seen her involved with the students. If her car is not parked at the facility is because she also has breaks people..My son graduated this year and he's very happy with his experience at this school.

The teachers and students at this school are amazing. The principal is very welcoming and when I ask the classroom teachers if they love their job, they all say yes! It's nice to know that the attitude of the people spending so much time with children is positive as I believe that carries over towards the attitudes of the children. This type of climate is attainable through strong leadership and coming to the school and experiencing the creativity and talent among the students and staff speaks for itself.

I cannot believe that there are not more reviews stated how hands off and barely competent the principal is. It's a shame, because the teachers are wonderful, so wonderful that the principal's incompetence is hidden.

It's not the teachers that are the problem. It's that principal. She even now has a curriculum specialist who was once a principal. That has helped some, but not enough.

My son had Mrs. Wood for kindergarten. She was very patient with him. There was strong communication between her and I through the use of notes and phone calls. She was also flexible and able to meet me if I had any concern. She created new and exciting lessons to keep children to engaged!

My son attended Kinder last year and I am so excited they've added Transitional Kinder this year as my daughter will also be attending! The parent involvement and the love and dedication from that teachers are amazing! I feel very comfortable leaving my kids in the hands of this wonderful staff. My son learned sooooooo much last year! Thank you Edison!

Edison Elementary is a caring and supportive learning environment which has motivated my grandson to passionately learn subject and life lessons. The staff is committed to their mission and there are many support systems to help students thrive. The parent community is active and welcoming. I'm pleased with how well my student is performing.

The teacher are wonderful, although several great ones gone because of various reasons. The principal is often gone from school. I heard she left to go Christmas shopping one day. She caters to the involved parents and those who may sue, but she does little about student safety. Check her parking spot one day. I'll bet it's empty.
