Ms Mayer was awesome. Mr King was good too. All the teachers our kids had were great. Ms Crawford (2nd) and Ms Etherington (3rd) did an outstanding job teaching and relating to the kids.

I went to Emile as a kid and 2 of my children have attended this school also. The principles are amazing and go the extra mile for the children. One princple stands out, Mrs. Moore she is so caring and loving. I wish I could pass her on with my children throughout High School!!

The school has a very welcoming environment to all. I think this is due to great leadership by the principal, Ms. Mayer. She sets high expectations for the teachers and students. Emile is a place students love to learn and they feel safe.

I have two children at emile. I like the school for the most part.The leadership seems to stamp out any thing that they do feel like doing. They need to let the parents have the right to remove the kids from one teacher and put him or her with one they feel good about.
