Emerson Elementary School

My daughter has attended this school k-1st.I thought it was and ok school. Then I get this letter about the test scores .I did feel they could use more teacher help in the classroom(teacher+ teacher-aide).Like when I was growing up.

This school has low academic standards. Everything seemed to be dumbed down. No written reports were required in fourth grade.

After reading reviews here about Emerson school I was really sad that my daughter will have to go to this school we start looking for other options but at the end we had to send our daughter to this school. Now after sending my daughter for one year we realize that we are the lucky to be in this school because everybody there is soooo nice and helpful. teachers are nice , we are really happy.

All my children attend this school. Their teacher and principle are very nice. The school is accomodative to what we need. They always send class material home so we know what my children learn at school. I really appreciate their working.

My child attends Emerson Elementary. The teacher works with me to ensure that my child is getting everything she needs to be successful in class. The staff is always happy to see us as parents show up to help out with special events or daily support. For my child's IEP meeting there were 8 people in the meeting from the school and the district, all had made sure that they were familiar with my child and her needs. We came from a school that was in a 'higher' ranked school district, with a much higher median income. I must say that Emerson has provided us with better services and a higher level of support. The 'make your day' system and structure of the school provides a safe environment. I was apprehensive at first about moving to Emerson, now I am very glad we did.

While I feel that the teachers themselves are of good quality, the dicipline program is far to strict. I do not feel that the expectations are age-appropriate. The end result being a very discouraged child. Wea re changing schools next year.

The leadership/principal at Emerson leaves a lot to be desired. Overall the teachers are outstanding. I just wish they could get the administrative support that they all deserve.

This school is outstanding! We have been there for three years now and each year has been a great experience. The teachers and staff go out of their way to make education as interesting and fulfilling as possible. I commend the school on it's discipline and ability to work together toward the common goal of educating our children.

This school is too strict in some areas and in other areas is too lax. My children are not thriving there and we are changing schools next year.

The make your day program leaves children with learning and/or behavior disorders with low self-esteem and should be called public shaming.
