Thomas Edison Elementary School

Our family is new to the school but we are already in love with it. The school personnel from the principal, Ms. Lebrecque, to the aides, cafeteria staff and maintenance person are very warm and welcoming. The students are friendly and made my son feel right at home. We moved to Edison because of its Technology magnet program and based on what we've seen so far, we are pleased. The quality of the homework is very good and the facilties, equipment and activities (despite cuts in the education budget) are outstanding. Keep up the good work

I have two kids in the Dual Immersion (Spanish) program. One in first grade and the other in 6th grade. At the beginning, seven years ago I had doubts since bilingual education was not popular or was thought to be only given to foreign-born students. What a change of attitude I have now! I can claim success in having two American-born kids that can handle both English and Spanish proficiently. And I mean speak, read and write. Teachers are very dedicated and it reflects on their leaders very well. I wish this program was available as a standard everywhere. The world is getting smaller and we will need more multilingual workers to help our country be even more competitive. Great work Dr. Kelly King!

Dr Kelly King is a welcome addition to the leadership of this school. All parents I've spoken with say the previous leadership was lacking. I am glad to say the Dr King interfaces with me personally anytime that I needed her assistance. She has taken the time to know both of my boys and in my opinion goes out of her way to make the school safe and progressing academically. Good job Edison!

Thomas Edison is improving and is going through many changes. A new Principle is arriving this year and many parents are looking forward to a new leader. The school may not be up to par in all areas, but this may be due to a number of political issues. However, my child has done very well in the Dual immersion program, where the parents are very active with each other, volunteer in the tutoring of the kids, support each other, and have open communication with teachers at meetings and socials. The teachers and coordinator of this program are truly dedicated to this program, which is expanding. For the Dual Immersion program I have chosen for my child, I am very happy with the

The school is identified as a Program Improvement School, because it hasn`t made an Adequate Yearly Progress for two consecutive years. I will be looking for alternative enrollment options for my child.

Thomas Edison is an excellent school whose curve is on the way up. The dual immersion program is Outstanding with dedicated teachers and program staff. The campus itself is top notch -- the library (just first rate), computer center, science room, et cetera. Parent support is strong, and the Family Center has lots of parent volunteers every day. This school is wonderful, and we are so glad our child is a student here.
