Dr. Weiden has done a terrific job of restoring the school to where it was under Dr. M. He has managed the teachers well, attracting talented new teachers to the school while managing out some that should have retired ling ago. We are very pleased with the direction of the school under him and look forward to continued growth. Close Quote

I used to go to Edgebrook School from 2008-2015. I now go to Taft Academic Center. The academics have gone down, but the students at Edgebrook are very accepting of other students and the bullying problem is very mild. I actually missed going to Edgebrook after my first day at Taft. Close Quote

Edgebrook used USED to be an excellent school when Dr. M ran it. Since Mrs Kepka took over, the school has gone downhill, all she cares about is fundraising instead of focusing in the academics Close Quote
