Emelita Street Elementary School

My children have thrived at Emelita. The teachers do a great job and I've found our principal to be very supportive. It's a small, safe school and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to parents looking for an elementary school. The smile on my child's face at the end of each day says it all. He loves his school and his teachers.

I am very sad that this school is not the same it was when my children started there 5 yrs ago. I have seen so many changes. It so saddens me that this schools moral is so low now. It went from a huge sense of community to a no sense of community.. It events are not the same as they used to be, They no longer allow children to wear costumes on halloween and have a parade at the end of the day the all the students look forward to. It is very sad. If I was to have to enroll my child at this school now I would say run and go else where......

I love this school. The teachers do what they can to give the students what they need. Thank goodness for their PTA. They are so involved in creating programs for our kids and always coming up with lots of fun things for the school. My kids are happy there, and that is what is most important.

The Principal and the Teachers do a great job considering all of the budget cuts. Not enough parent involvement.

All the teachers are great, especially Mr. Estrada. This school is very fortunate to have teachers who care a great deal about the students.

We love Emelita! It's a small school where the teachers, staff and principal really care about the kids! And since it's a smaller school, you don't get lost in the shuffle like at many of the neighboring schools. The PTA is very active in fundraising and in providing the school with additional resources and equipment not provided by the district. Emelita is a hidden gem!

Teachers are mean with children! Yelling and mistreating the children, All they care about the kids not being absent, because they get payed for the students attendace.
