We are very engaged parents and have had a great experience at Emerson. Our teachers and administrators have been kind, caring, concerned and dedicated. Because of the use of technology our children can learn at their own pace and have consistently tested above state averages. The dual language program beginning in Kindergarten is unique in Chicagoland.

Class size is right around 22 kids - not bad. Several classrooms are co-taught. Principal and assistant principal are extremely involved and caring. Teachers are easy to reach via email. There is a focus on reading and on use of technology. Kids are learning to blog and use education-based apps when doing homework. The PTA organizes afterschool activities (for a fee) including chess, yoga, theatre and art that take place throughout the school year. The school will improve as more parents place an emphasis on learning. It begins at home.

Well I wonder what having the best school in Berwyn will do for this school. The school has an 88% of students achieving the states academic goals. With that kind of achievement it can compete with almost any school in the state. It doesn't seem like the school is declining in anyway even with a changing demographic. I think Berwyn overall need more extracurricular activities for the public school system. What I would like to see is Emerson become a magnet school, and if someone who was not in the district be able to attend the school. We will see. I do applaud the school and the staff for maintaining high marks!

Teachers are very dedicated to their students. Students actually enjoy going to school there. They have been performing quite well academically and the school has some groups that are looking to continue to improve the school.
