This school is TERRIBLE, really really bad curriculum, terrible students, terrible rules that only hinder the child, they push college on you non stop to the point you don’t want to go anymore

Im in high school and It has good teachers, personality wise, just they dont know how to teach. The only thing that is really good is the JROTC program. Many kids here are suffering and their get a way is through JROTC. There are way to many cliques, and there are fights almost daily, and yet, we aren't the worst in TPS with fights. There are a lot of drugs and vapes inside this school and many staff arent doing anything about it. I was bullied by somebody here and I went to 7 different admins about it, just for the person who was bulling me, to get a phone call to mom. Counclers here are only worried about your grades and are very judgy, and wont actually help you if you are in a bad mental state. Phones are supposed to be not allowed, yet almost every kid has a phone and uses it during class. Teachers are laking more and more every year. Ive told a teacher i was going to drop out, they told me to go for it and I would be more successful then if i was to stay in school.

I graduated from Edison and LOVED it. I have a child graduating from Edison next year. The social aspects of school are extremely important. These skills are required in business. This generation needs to develop the art of conversation if they want to have careers instead of jobs. Also, the term is clique NOT click.

I am a new student at Edison high school this year, and my overall experience is very good. I will say there are some clicks. There are also a lot of people that aren't in clicks, and are very nice. The students are usually respectful and helpful, but we are teenagers. But this year they have a new principle and we are not allowed to wander the halls. The teachers know what they are doing, and are very friendly. If I need someone to take to they would be there. I am an athlete there, and they expect that the athletes are going to respect the adults and others. If you have below a C average you will have to drop the sport because school is first. So overall I will say I am going to attend Edison next year, and hope you or your child does too!

worst school in tulsa ok, two many little clicks, two many problems, kids wonder the halls like they were at a social function. you go in ask quesiton and you can not even get an answere.. sometime you talk to the staff and they have no idea how to ansere your questions. they have a magnet progeam which simply devides the average with the so called smart. creates and atmosphere of class distinciton. my kids will not be back in edison next year...

I have been extremely impressed with the educational options as well as the sense of community and the overall kindness of my son's fellow students. I also like how much the athletic coaches emphasize student first then athlete.

Having moved from Ann Arbor, MI to Tulsa, OK several years ago, I have to admit that the public school system here is pretty abysmal. The general population in Tulsa is sorely lacking on the educational front. Fine Parenting is a rarity. Too often, parents rely soley on the public school system to teach their children the differences between right and wrong, left from right, and the most basic of social ediquette. Edison Prep. is an average American High School. It does it's job, but nothing more. I won't boast about how fantastic it is, but I will tell you this...our student is happy there. No longer bullied or picked on, he is making friends and working hard. We have rescued our teen from a bad situation. He has been out of school for almost 2 yrs. Getting him caught up this summer was a challenge, and it is a blessing in disguise that they have lowered expectations. He is doing surprisingly well, and I will be exceedingly proud to see him graduate from this school. I only hope, that when my own daughter is old enough to attend High School, that they raise the bar a little. I want her to be challenged; I want her to grow. Sincereley, A person who loves children
