Edison High School

Edison beach bash was the worst wrestling tournament I have attended EVER. The booster who was running the tournament should not because no wrestling experience what so ever. Saw the booster parents gang up on a coach from something that was not his fault. The head guy in the microphone using his job profession as a off duty officer to throw the coach out of the gym. Totally and utterly unprofessional, and the wife of the off duty officer he claims to be making uncalled comments to the coaches an parents of the school calling them «ignorant»!!. Attacking the coaches character on how can they raise kids being from where they are. Small children were present behaving in that manner is insulting. A tournament should be run together with the coaches and booster together. Not the booster strong arming everyone in a bad manner. What I was told his name Ed LaLonde that was being extremely rude and his wife saying derogatory comments to the athletes and coaches.

I attended here in the early 80s and now I have a daughter who attends and a son who works at EHS. Its always fun to come back and see the changes, growth and excitement through out the school.
World Geography meeting in the library, was nice being in there and not on detention. LOL … Don’t tell my daughter.

Overall good school except that I’ve heard one of the teachers told the Class of 2013 that they should use the ropes/​chords they get at graduation should be used later on in life when they commit suicide. That leaves a terrible taste in my life. Suicide is not a joking matter. Other than that teacher, everyone is friendly except i would not recommend going here if a parent/​stepparent/​relative works there.

I’m reading all the reviews and one just made me feel ill.
I hope that the teacher that made a comment about suicide was removed from school. As a parent I am really concerned about my children’s education, and one thing is to educate kids about suicide and another to make sick jokes about it.
That teacher had no ethics and was very unprofessional.
Unilocal doesn’t allow me to leave a comment without a star, and since I don’t know this school, and there’s 5 stars I want to be fair.

To the ignorant person below me reviewing (BJ) who obviously has no personal experience with this school and so SHOULD NOT BE REVIEWING the school, I say
please remove your review. It’s an obvious ploy to help your «reviewer status» on Unilocal and get people to click the «funny button» for your silly first review — you go so far as to ask people to click funny… now that is LAME.
For you to nervously Google search anything bad on Edison after I questioned the authenticity of your review, and to come up with this — «The claim focuses on the fair use of equipment for the girl’s track and field program» — which is the basis of the inquiry, is grasping as straws, dude. The purpose of Unilocal is for people to review that actually have personal experience with a place, not to randomly review places so you have more reviews under your belt as a Unilocaler.
Again I ask if you have personal experience with this school which you are giving one star. My guess is no. That’s why you had to search for any bad press to show here to justify your one star. That is not the purpose of Unilocal.
I do have personal experience. My son is currently a Senior. He has had wonderful teachers (a few not great as with any school) but overall the community of the school is fantastic. The sports are top notch. The kids have good comraderie and school spirit and the staff seems to genuinely care for the kids. There are always issues with high schools — no high school is perfect, but my son loves his school and that is what is important. And hey BJ — the school is walking distance to the beach. That should at least get it one more star, eh?

I am a coach at Edison for the first time this year and I must say that I am impressed by everything. The staff and students are all very welcoming, the classrooms are clean and well kept, the gym is huge and overall there is a true sense of unity here. I came from LQHS and to be honest I am a little jealous. Lol. I appreciate the support that the students get here, I mean their booster club is on point and I love seeing so many parents come out. All in all, nothing but positive thoughts regarding Edison HS.
