The education at Edgemont was fantastic, and I feel extremely prepared to go into college and then post-college whatever job I may search for. The teachers are passionate and knowledgeable and there are lots of opportunities to expand beyond the curriculum offered. Although it is a small school, there are still a decent variety of classes, and I've never found myself searching for something that wasn't there. However, Edgemont's community is generally very stressed out and sleep deprived, leading to a depressed student body and a generally not great vibe. There are plentiful resources for students mental and emotional healthy, but I've found that most students choose not to participate in those resources. Personally, I've had no issues with the culture in Edgemont, as I have plenty of friends and family who helped me get through the tough parts of high school, but I know a number of people who had a very different experience at Edgemont.
I thought Edgemont was a wonderful school with well-rounded curriculums and extracurriculars. The teachers were all incredibly supportive and made sure to make material comprehensive. If assistance was needed, most teachers would offer extra help outside of typical school hours. I do think the arts department could have received more support during my time at Edgemont, as it was not as well established as the other departments (such as math and English). The classes were unpopular and not promoted, furthermore projects would be redundant or formulaic (not promoting individual student creativity unless the students sought out art outside of school). I think the photography course was evolving very well though as students were learning photo editing techniques.
Super competitive. One could say almost a toxic learning environment. However, with that being said, some good things can come out of that, for example, the standardized test scores average is super high, for the ACT it was a 31 which is crazy. Social scene is nonexistent. The sports teams are pretty much mediocre, so much so that the football team dropped out of Section One play and now play with other schools that also suck. But, if you want to go to an Ivy League college then this is the place for you. Finally, most teachers don't care about the students mental health. Unfortunately, it is common to have more than one test in a day.
