Edison High School
Julie: If the rating below is from a teacher, I am definitely happy with my decision to keep my daughter at Edison. My daughter came from private school as well. Edison has been most accommodating in providing a flexible schedule (she is an outside the school athlete as well) while still maintaining challenging curriculum. HB School district allows semi-open enrollment. I am pleased with my decision with Edison.
