Parent involvement is a key component of student success.

In school
The School Improvement Council of the Edison Academy encourages parent participation. It meets once a month and focuses on the development and implementation of a school improvement plan each year.

At home
Parents are encouraged to participate in school life; we welcome your feedback and input and encourage you to communicate with administrators and teachers. The more communication between school and home the more successful the student can be.

In order to receive an Edison Academy diploma, a student must pass the following high school subjects and tests:

• English 1, 2, 3 and 4
• US History I & II

If a student attended another accredited high school in the United States prior to enrolling at Edison Academy and received credits for any of the above courses, credit for these courses may be applied by the principal, reducing the number of courses needed to graduate. The following documentation should also be submitted if applicable:

• Transcript from your most recent public school
• Individual Education Plan for Special Education students
• MCAS scores (if applicable)
• Attendance & discipline records
• ACCESS test records for English Language Learners

Enrollment at Edison Academy requires the following:

• Students must be 17 – 21 years of age.
• Students who have recently moved to Brockton, must visit the Parent Information Center with required documentation. Once all their documents have been received, their information will be sent to Edison Academy. Edison Academy will then contact the student to come in to meet with the principal and enroll. Students under 18, must have a parent or guardian accompany them to the meeting.
• Students who are residents, but who are not currently enrolled in a Brockton Public School or who have withdrawn from a Brockton Public School, must re-engage at the Parent Information Center on 60 Crescent Street in Brockton. After they have re-engaged at the Parent Information Center, their information will be sent to Edison Academy. Edison Academy will then contact the student to come in to meet with the principal and enroll. Students under 18, must have a parent or guardian accompany them to the meeting.
• Students currently enrolled in another Brockton Public School must obtain a referral from their current guidance counselor signed off by the principal of the sending school. Once received by Edison Academy, the referral will be reviewed by the principal. Edison Academy will then contact the student to come in to meet with the principal and enroll. Students under 18, must have a parent or guardian accompany them to the meeting.
• Students attending Brockton High School or other public high schools in the area, may take classes at Edison Academy for a fee of $165.00 per course. Students must come to the Edison Guidance Office and complete a registration form and pay a minimum of 50% of the cost of the course(s) to begin. The balance must be paid midway through the semester. Failure to pay for courses completed will result in no credit being issued for the class(es) and the student will not be able to take any further courses until the balance is paid.
