Hello I also just moved to edgewater and I was supervised to find there were no schools out here. The community is really nice so it was uprising. When I enrolled my son the staff was very nice and I liked the fact that the teacher sends home weekly reports on how my child is doing....so far so good.

I'm looking forward to my daughter's year in first grade. She had a positive Kindergarten year with Mr. Schlussler. I do worry about the school's location and its poor scores in testing, but I'm encouraged to see that it is improving over all. I recommend seeing the teachers of your children on a regular basic to enhance the learning process and to make sure your children are not missing out on anything. It's a good little school, I hope it continues to improve.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

The test results by subgroup show how the designated group of students is performing in comparison to the general population.

The API reflects year-over-year schools performance based on STAR test score results from spring 2012.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 California used the California Standards Tests (CSTs) to test students in English language arts in grades 2 through 11; math in grades 2 through 7; science in grades 5, 8 and 10; and history-social science in grades 8 and 11. Middle and high school students also took subject-specific CSTs in math and science, depending on the course in which they were enrolled. The CSTs are standards-based tests, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of California. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the tests.
