I absolutely love Edison. I pulled my kids out of private school and I wish I would have started them at Edison from the start. ItÂ’s such a great community, the teachers and support staff are AMAZING.

I go to this school and I think it is 100% the best school ever. For Pre-K I had Mrs. Hartzell.,for Kindergarden I had Mrs. Shotwell, for 1st grade I had Mrs. Kaczmarowski, for 2nd grade I had Mrs. Porter- Kech for 3rd grade I had Mrs Hanny who was new because she came from Jefferson, and now I have Mrs. Kazmarowski again in 4th grade. I'm so sad that after this year I only have 1 year left at this school. It will always be my second home!

I am a graduate of this school and am sorry to hear of the first parent's difficulties. My teachers there were uniformly head and shoulders above the quality of teachers I had in later years in a different school district. I take nothing away from that school except a total appreciation for the excellent education I received there. At the time, Lawrence Ball was the Principal. I had great teachers, we had art weekly, music everyday, gym everyday and still had time for superior academics. Indeed, my parents moved into the neighborhood b/c of the school. I hope the school has managed to maintain standards. HATS OFF TO THOMAS EDISON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL! You deserve all accolades you receive. Thank you for giving me a future!
