Edgewood Junior/Senior High School

I liked Edgewood before it became a School of Choice, when I was there from 1999 to 2001. I had a great Science Research teacher named Dennis Turner, a nice science teacher named Mr. William F. Hausmann, and a crotchety Math Teacher in 7th Grade named Mr. Hicks who had us do a project on flying a ultralight aircraft to Oshkosh Wisconsin. Us students had to calculate fuel costs using distances and basic information on the craft. Mr. Turner taught Drama after Science Research and was a valuable asset to the School. I did not appreciate the basketball coach in 7th Grade Mr. Watson who did not select me for the team after tryouts. My Algebra I teacher, Mr. MacClellan was a real peach, who taught us use of graphing using X, Y coordinate systems.

This school set me back educationally. Kennedy Middle School and the Cambridge program ended up being the much better option. I attended Edgewood for half a semester and it was awful. They're not accommodating and frankly, their education isn't all it's cracked up to be. Going beyond their high test scores year round, some other elements of the school need to be strictly analyzed.

Extremely well put together school and even received a blue ribbon award from or government because of how pristine it is.

The most difficult part is the lottery system. The standards for entering the lottery are too low and students that work hard to get in have the same chances as much less talented students. I saw 3 of the best students from their grade wind up so far down the waiting list that their chances are mostly hopeless. Demoralizing for those that work hard to get to the top.
