Edison Academy Magnet School
The Edison Academy Magnet School (formerly known as the Middlesex County Academy for Science, Mathematics and Engineering Technologies) is a four-year career academy and college preparatory magnet public high school located on the campus of the Middlesex County College in Edison, in Middlesex County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey.
As of the 2024–25 school year, the school had an enrollment of 173 students and 12.5 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 13.8:1. There were 0 students (0.0% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 3 (1.7% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.
In September 2013, the academy was one of 15 schools in New Jersey to be recognized by the United States Department of Education as part of the National Blue Ribbon Schools Program, an award called the "most prestigious honor in the United States' education system" and which Education Secretary Arne Duncan described as schools that "represent examples of educational excellence".
Schooldigger.com ranked the school as one of 16 schools tied for first out of 381 public high schools statewide in its 2011 rankings (unchanged from the 2010 ranking) which were based on the combined percentage of students classified as proficient or above proficient on the language arts literacy (100.0%) and mathematics (100.0%) components of the High School Proficiency Assessment (HSPA).
In its listing of "America's Best High Schools 2016", the school was ranked 10th out of 500 best high schools in the country; it was ranked third among all high schools in New Jersey.
The Academy uses a hands-on approach to teaching students the skills that Civil and Mechanical engineers use in the workforce. Students design and create useful projects in addition to learning the basics of bridge design, beam design, and truss analysis.[citation needed]
Previous projects include building a 28-foot-long (8.5 m) bridge out of PVC, foam, and wood, a fully working hovercraft (which is currently being redesigned), and designing a name display system for the students' desks. All projects in the Civil/Mechanical class are fully documented and are written up in presentation quality binders.[citation needed]
The Electronic Engineering Curriculum starts with procedural programming in C++ and basic analog and digital circuits and goes into C++ with object-oriented programming, the PIC microcontroller, Finite State Machines, and communication systems. The ECET program has a fully equipped electrical lab, which is used heavily throughout the four-year program.[citation needed]
