Edison has great teachers and students. You get a Music and PE class at least 2 times a week. Depending if you are in the 3rd grade on up to 5th grade you get 3 PE classes with your class with a awesome Phy Ed teacher. Music is fun too you get to do music programs that are pretty fun. In the 4th grade you get to play a instrument called a recorder and it is awfully easy. You also do recorder karate, it is a fun thing to do because you earn belts. The black belt choir gets to play recorder songs in the 4th grade play. Also you can be in a choir called the DO RE MIs' in 4th and 5th grade it is fun because you get to take a field trip to Bismarck, North Dakota and sing at the Capitol building. Edison is great!!

My child has been at Edison since Kindergarten and he is now in 3rd grade. Great teachers so far and parents are encouraged to actively participate. No school is perfect, but we are pleased with this one.

About the tests


In 2007-2008 North Dakota used the North Dakota State Assessment (NDSA) to test students in grades 3 through 8 and 11 in reading and math, and in science in grades 4, 8 and 11. The results for reading and math for all grades combined are displayed on GreatSchools profiles. Results represent students enrolled in the school for the entire academic year. The NDSA is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering the specific skills defined for each grade by the state of North Dakota. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level.
