This school... bro.... HORRIBLE STAFF!HORRIBLE STUDENTS... the lunch gets worse every day. So many test... I don't recommend this school it beats you down mentally

The 2022-2023 school year at Emmott Elementary for my kids has been very disappointing. I have a child in 1st grade and one in 3rd grade. Some of their teachers this year have pushed my kids to dislike school which has made it difficult for me to engage and help them. First, there has been such lack of communication from some of their teachers; the assistant principles only reach out after I had to send emails of issues about the teachers (unresolved) My daughter has a new teacher she doesn't engage well, I only spoke with her during field day, she advertently let me know she gave my daughter a passing grade for reading but then said it was a mistake and that she would call me to discuss, never happened and yes my daughter is stilll passing. My son's 7th week of school and his 1st grade teacher tells me he needs special education help. I say do your own research about (HB3)funding and teacher incentives I will leave that there! Secondly, I was on a conference with 2 teachers whom I never spoke to ever that's been helping my daughter with reading. I was accused by one of the teachers of not having the correct contact # on file and I quickly sent them a screenshot email proving my number has been updated since the beginning of the year because I get voicemails of upcoming hiring events, attendance etc.. I realized that specific teachers (not all the teachers) are not being held accountable for their mistakes from management there's lack of ownership as a whole, lack of belonging, engagement and inclusion for my kids this year. Again, I am only speaking from my experience not all teachers at Emmott lack. My daughter has been fortunate to have 1 really good teacher this year thank god. Lastly, I thought after-school tutoring would help but the school doesn't have specific resources to tutor in smaller groups, I quickly realized after-school tutoring wasn't helping my son after I found out he ended up with different teachers and was not getting help on what he needed. This review is only depicted on my experience from a couple of their teachers and not doesn't reflect on other kids or teachers at Emmott. Parents are here to help, and it's hard to do when there is lack of communication and engagement from teachers. From other Emmott reviews I see on google, Emmott is 50% below average, I don't have actual data just doing my research like any parent would. I would add a lot more but Im limited on characters for this review.

Counselors care but they are overworked. If you have special circumstance or are very smart they will pay attention and help you. If you are a normal kid trying to get into college, you are pretty much on your own. And please don't ask them for help when they are busy because they will just look at you like you are bothering them. I think school district needs more counselors at this school. Overall teachers are really good but something is off.
