Edgemont Junior/Senior High School in Scarsdale, New York

“Edgemont is a wonderful, nuturing, academically challenging school. The atmosphere is one of cooperation and no student is allowed to fall through the cracks. It offers a caring staff, great facilities, and very high academic standards. I feel very priviledged to have been able to send my daughter to this school. Presently, I work here in Computer Laboratory and can appreciate all that Edgemont has to offer in an atmosphere that is accepting and challenging. The seniors come out with the skills necessary to achieve academic success.”

“We specifically located to Edgemont, althought the costs of housing and taxes are high to allow our two sons to attend the junior/senior high school. After having been in other public school systems in PA, CA, and NY we are totally thrilled with the quality of education (like a private school), the many extra-curricular options, and mostly the caring and individual attention paid to the children. This is a community with a very high level of involvement and, in fact, is so totally focused on the schools that there is not much reason to stay here once the kids graduate (at least, that is our perception). A very strong music program, lots of quality sports programs, not so big on theater and fine arts, but there is a new principal who appears to want to focus in that area. Competitive, but sets the tone that kids are proud to be smart.”

“The best thing about the Edgemont schools is the student body quality. This is a district where the students are, for the most part, motivated to succeed. While the parents are also involved, let's be honest, it is the people in the school who make the school, and while the teachers are for the most part very good, the students are the biggest part of the school environment.”

“This school is truely one of the best in NY. It has a small, intimate feeling which makes it more like a top notch private school. It offers many AP classes and has excellent teachers that care about their students. The only problem is it lacks a pool and therefore doesn't have extracurricular activities like swimming and diving.”
