This school gives a false impression of diversity and has poor and under qualified leadership. I have reported the principal Ms. Williams to Boulder Valley School District about her lack of safety concerns during dismissal and pick up times which included harassing neighbors getting violent towards parents feeling they are too close and or may be blocking their driveway, traffic jams, ample no parking zones nearby school and pick up protocols that exclude certain grades that the principal refuses to fix making taking your child to school unsafe. School playground is in front of school and not fully gated anyone including “stranger danger” could walk up to the school while children are playing at recess. There was a clear distinction in certain ethnic groups not celebrated in the school despite the misleading decoration of flags from other countries when you walk in the lobby. This school will hold your child back based on age and grade not their true education performance levels. Curriculum is not challenging, no homework and does not embrace diversity and inclusion amongst peers. However, plenty of dress up like the principal days and wear certain outfits to school. Although this is a new school building and may appeal to parents it needs new leadership. As an actual licensed educator myself I am giving an honest review that Emerald Elementary School is not academically competitive nor the principals leadership comparable to high performing schools. Hopefully the district starts to hold this school accountable.
