Edegemont Elementary has a feeling of bright, positive attitude. One can feel it the minute one walks through the doors. The staff and teachers are friendly and caring.

This school is excellent! All the teachers we have had are fabulous. The PTO is very involved, and the principal is fantastic. The staff get to know all the kids, and can call them by name (and often know who siblings are.) They even know my children who are not enrolled in school yet. Wonderful school - best in Idaho Falls!
