I have 2 children, 1 has gone thru K-5 at Edison and 1 is still there in 5th grade. They both have gotten wonderful educations at this school. The teachers are great and it is easy as a parent to be involved, which I think plays a large part in your childs education.

I found this school to have a variety of good and not so good aspects, however the dedication of a few very careing teachers and a principle that 'runs a tight ship' make up for what this school lacks in funds and community participation.The music program brought out the talent in the children and far exceeds other schools at a similar level.I beleive this school as well as most Colorado Springs schools would do 100% better given the adequate funding, repairs and community involvement. Where does the taxes go in this state? With the amount of revenue that flows through this state the schools should be rated in the top 10 in the country. Overall comparing Colorado schools in general to other states I have lived, it is difficult to give good reviews.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Colorado used the Transitional Colorado Assessment Program (TCAP) to test students' skills in reading, writing and mathematics in grades 3 through 10, and in science in grades 5, 8 and 10. The TSAP is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Colorado. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the test. The TCAP replaced the CSAP as Colorado's state assessment program effective for the 2011-2012 school year.
