We’re having a problem with a teacher then contacting a dealing with the principal is just as bad! Giving parents 15 minutes to drop off children with all the traffic is crazy they also take up precious learning time by feeding the children in the classroom. 25+kids to a classroom.
Posted by a parent on 3/12/2026We love Emerson! I love the close-knit comminity feel in this smaller school, you really feel like the teachers and administrators know all the kids individually.And some of the teacher have been there for decades, saying about about both the culture and their dedication.
Posted by a parent on 3/1/2022This is truly a “community school”. We have had multi-generations of families come to Emerson. The teachers really care about the students and the support staff is truly amazing. The actual facility has music, art and P.E. as separate buildings/classrooms because Emerson believes in the education of

10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWhile this is overall a really good school the principal can be very dismissive towards concerns that are raised by parents, especially working-class parents of color. I first thought it was because I was not as involved in the school, so I made an effort to do more but that made very little difference. After 8 years of consistent experience, I feel very disempowered to change this circumstance and/or address it directly with her without it having a negative effect on my child. Although I recommend the school, in a state that has the worst public schools in the country, it's important to know what one may be walking into.Parent Review5mo ago
