Amazing teachers who go above and beyond!

This is one of the worst schools in Puyallup School District. They are discriminatory, racist, and do not provide the necessary supports for there students. This includes students with disabilities and students of ethnic background. The students are targeted by the teachers. For example, my student was held back after school and her only way of transportstion is the school bus home. They new she was a bus rider. She has rode the bus for all 3 years and all her time in Puyallup School District. She was still held and I had to pick up from school. I glad that I was able to leave to go pick her up. She was held so the teacher could talk to her. She was not in trouble and never have been a behavior issue in school. School is supposed to be a safe place for every student. School is supposed to be the union between parents and students. It should not be punitive. Emeraldridge school culture is punitive though. I do not recommend sending your children here. They lack diversity and cultural sensitivitiy as well. This is the short version. There is way more incidents to tell but not enough space or time on an online platform. I gove them a 2/10. That 2 is for the very few teachers that care.

My son entered GV in 9th grade. Any time we reach out to a school counselor or teacher we have had our emails returned promptly and respectfully. My son uses SPed services and the staff are excellent and practical with accommodations and recommendations for our son’s course load. We have had zero complaints about GV. Our experience has been fantastic.
