The Northwest campus has been home to my daughter for the last 2.5 years. I cannot say enough good things about this school. The teachers have been amazing! She finished up her senior year earlier than expected, and still the teachers and staff email her to check in and see how she is doing. They TRULY care about their students. I could go on forever with all the praises I have for them.

If I could give it zero stars, I would. This school suspended me for 90 days for smelling "smokey", with no search, no meetings, they just suspended me right then and there with no discussion. Tom (the dean of students) interrupted me every time when I tried to say that there was no proof, and it wasn't a valid or fair suspension, and he would by saying "No discussion about it". It's ridiculous since this school is full of drug haggling kids, but somehow I become their target. This school is mismanaged, and the teachers are extremely disrespectful, except for two which I found to be very nice and

Edge High School is truly an amazing school.

They work individualy with students to help them achieve their goals and graduate on time. They where not only there for me durning high school, but they have kept their doors open to many alumni who need assistance

Edge is a great high school. Walking through the doors anyone can sense there's something different about the place, and anyone knows the difference is good. The environment is positive with small classroom sizes and a self-paced curriculum. Each student takes a one hour elective, and two courses each quarter (students are strongly encouraged to work at steady, productive pace). Each student is only required to go to school 4 hours a day, 5 days a week. The staff is always willing to help with any problem whether the issue is academic or personal. Students move as fast as they are willing
