Ralph Waldo Emerson Middle School

I am an 8th grader at Emerson and i absolutely love it! In 6th grade i was a little frightened to start middle school but the moment i stepped foot into the school everyone gave me warm welcomes. i was apart of ESA-emerson sports academy, which provides an amazing program for sports lovers. in 7th grade i decided to join costume design. Our school is the only school in LAUSD that has this class which is pretty amazing. This year i'm in the drama program and i love it!!! we also got a new principal this year and he is absolutly amazing. In 6th grade i met my 2 best friends but they switched school this year but i still had friends i could rely on. i'm going to miss emerson once i start high school

Though I was an SAS student at Emerson, I have to admit that the IHP program will really give your child an incredible 2 year boost in math. Some of my friends are already in precalculus in 10th grade because of this phenomenal program. Not to mention the Drama and arts pogram- the best plays you could ever see at a middle school! I will mever regret attending this wonderful school.

I have 6th & 7th grade daughters at Emerson. I will start by saying, "I wish I had every minute back that I spent worrying about middle school" My girls couldn't be happier with their classes, their teachers, their friends & the convenience of living 4 minutes from their school. For me I love the receptive & appreciative faculty who expect nothing but are genuinely grateful for everything I do for them! The overnight field trips so far have been spectacular. The IHP program for me as a parent is what sealed the deal. Since Emerson is only one of 2 schools who offer this advanced level class I figured I would not be doing my girls a favor by not challenging them. The other school that offers this IHP program is in North Hollywood. Couldn't be happier!!!!!

I have two daughters who have attended Emerson, and both have been extremely happy at the school. The core academics have kept them challenged (they are both in IHP-- the high honors program), they have enjoyed the electives (both sports and drama) but what might be most important is that they have been happy, immersed, comfortable and they have pride in their school. They come home from school every day feeling good, and during the middle school years when kids can be mean and awkward and moody, that is saying a lot.
