Emerald Park Elementary School

I think this school and it's staff are all amazing. They do their best to help struggling students. My son had a horrible test score in his last math test and his teacher let him retake the test, with new questions of course. Now that is a dedicated teacher to give her struggling student a chance to prove that he can do the math. This school is #1 when it comes to academics.

My youngest child attended Emerald Park Elementary for 5 years; each year the school faculty got better and better. The programs are always loads of fun, very original and creative, and well worth any time invested. The faculty and staff are wonderfully caring, totally involved with our kids, and extremely communicative to us parents. Mr. Ficken and Ms. Balcom are the best principals I have ever known; they participate in school spirit days to the fullest measure, and are beloved by everyone. Thanks, Emerald Park!

Emerald Park is a great school! The staff tries incredibly hard to educate students the best they can! Mr. Ficken is very involved with students, teachers and parents always wanting to improve. Plus, the school is in perfect condition. It is one of very little schools [that] have super clean facilities.

Absolutely the best. Awesome! Dean Ficken is a gem. My son spent 3 years there and I never had a concern, a worry, a fear. The teachers and staff are bright, dedicated and fabulous. Buy a house in the school's boundaries. It is worth it.
