As all schools, Emerson has challenges but the care and support given to these students by everyone at Emerson is amazing.

10 out of 10! This is the best school I could imagine!

My experience as a parent is that the teachers are extremely kind and very dedicated to the students. They work hard to give them the best experience and they are constantly trying new things and evolving to keep themselves effective with the kids.

I feel the school has improved tremendously over the years. Both my kids have amazing teachers. Dr. Church has proved to be an asset to the school. I appreciate that he greets me when I walk in. Whenever I have a concern it is addressed immediately. The school needs more parent involvement.

My son attends this school and he loves his teachers, and they legitimately show a lot of care for his well-being and learning environment. We've had some frank discussions with the teachers and they've shown that they truly care. In addition to teacher effectiveness, we've been pleased they they give back to the community, such as canned food drives, and providing visits with a local home for the elderly. They also have many programs for the students, such as band, choir, and engineering fair. My son loves going to school and has a blast learning new things, and has excelled at mathematics and english since starting at this school.

This is a horrible school. They support bullying!! Not only by students but teachers too. The teachers bully and show the kids they can bully too. The principal still held the teacher in high regard after the bullying teacher admited to the wrong doing. ?? My child is a good kid very well behaved and intelligent not a bully. I removed my child from this school.The bullying followed for months after my child left this school. The principal being part of it at that time.

Frankly, I am shocked to read the negative reviews. My older son attended Emerson and I found it to be a wonderful place! We loved every teacher he had (and they loved him right back.) I have found the principal to be approachable and supportive, and the kids really like him. I agree with the person who pointed out that most people who don't want their kids there are uncomfortable with the lower socioeconomic population. I stand by Emerson and am happily sending another of my children there next year.

Counselors, Nurses, aids and principal all do not attend to the children s needs. The staff cannot be trusted nor do they *really* care about what is going on. Several things took place involving my child & other children and all were handled horribly & I was blown off by several staff members. They want parents to shut up and get over things quickly. I agree w/ a previous poster that the bulling here is also very bad & not handled how it should be. Staff is unprofessional & should all be re-evaluated. Ran into an old teacher from another school & shared my experiences and was told yes, this school has many-many problems and that a lot (a lot!) of parents pull their kids out of it & that the staff is also treated unfair behind the scenes so that they in-turn are unhappy and do not do well in their jobs. I am by-far not a dramatic parent & am fair on each situation and everything I had to deal with at Emerson was horrible. My child will not be returning. Their testing grades are also very very low in the district. This school seriously needs an overhaul.

It is amazing that people can say whatever they want without repercussions. Emerson is a great school, with great families and staff. Most families that seem to have an issue with Emerson are people that don't want their children around children from lower socioeconomic households. The principal cares for the students at Emerson more than any other principal I have met, and he supports input from students and their families.
