Edge Academy

"This school is such a great school. I’m definitely biased as my parents helped build this school over two decades ago. The other reviews are from kids and a former staff member. There is a low turnover rate in the employment. There’s an emphasis on therapy (Seven Habits of Highly Effective Teens). My parents were adamant on making the school a safe place for kids to learn and grow. The Edge Academy offers good and balanced food, meals some kids only have in the day. It breaks my heart but I also know how grateful they are as well. My parents wanted the kids to have skills and knowledge under their belt before they go out into the “real world”. The high school will be full of trade skills and so forth. There is definitely a feel of compassion with boundaries, education and leadership! This school is doing amazing work and will always be special."

"Alot has changed at the edge . no longer feel as welcome as It used to when coming.But the classroom teachers are top notch."

"I want to preface this post with the fact that I have several good friends who work at this school, so my review may be viewed as biased. At the same time, if they were unhappy there or didn't believe in what they do, I certainly wouldn't have taken the time to write this review. The Edge Academy offers a solid alternative option to Akron Public Schools. Teachers and staff work diligently to ensure a quality education for their students and regularly train on the most current teaching techniques in an effort to continually improve their students' experience. With the average classroom having around 24 students, teachers are often able to make time for individualized instruction for students who are struggling with certain aspects of their education. In addition, 100% of students are free lunch eligible, ensuring that no student goes hungry while at school The negative reviews seem to be from kids being kids and a former staff member who no longer has gainful employment at the school. If you'd like information about the Edge Academy, I would recommend that you give them a call and I'm certain a member of their staff would be happy to answer any questions that you may have."

"Marjaz do not like this school"

"this is my speech to all the ppl who went to the edge academy, it is a great place you can really learn alot the teacher are polite,nice,fun and wonderful the reason i say this is because they give you a second chance. They make you laugh,they celebrate your bithday.The ceremonies are wonderful they try to make a differnt person.And try to make you a leader not a follower.They even has some quotes like treat a person like you want to be treated.My teacher Mrs.Mac use to say that all the time. She is a great teacher she tells funny stories about her cat and her puppy names of her cats :clypso,i forgot the other one name of her puppy: it is either whinsten or cole i think it's cole oh yeah i o most forgot about our principle Mrs.Burchfield she is one of the most best principle's in the world. sincerly,jyqoria finney xoxoxoxo "
