School review information
Edgewood Elementary is a highly appealing option for families in South Surrey, offering excellent modern facilities, a strong academic record, and a forward-thinking curriculum that includes maker labs and outdoor learning. The school's impressive infrastructure and dedicated community make it a standout choice. However, prospective families must weigh these benefits against the reality of significant overcrowding and the extensive use of portable classrooms. Overall, it is a strong, vibrant school, provided parents are comfortable with the capacity challenges typical of rapidly growing neighborhoods.
Editorial review summary
Publicly available parent reviews for Edgewood Elementary are limited, as it is a relatively new school (opened in 2021). However, based on community discussions and news reports, parents appreciate the state-of-the-art facilities, beautiful architecture, and modern amenities, including the large gymnasium and outdoor sports fields. The active Parent Advisory Council (PAC) is also a highlight, successfully fundraising for initiatives like a new outdoor classroom. On the downside, the most prominent concern among parents is severe overcrowding. Due to rapid population growth in South Surrey, the school has had to rely heavily on portable classrooms (reportedly up to 15 portables) and temporary facilities, which has been a source of frustration for the school community.
