Butte Central Catholic Elementary-Jr High Schools

My child has had a wonderful experience at Emerson Elementary School. He is in the 2nd Grade and all of his teachers have been excellent. If our son has any concerns they have been immediately addressed. An example of this would be: He is very afraid of Halloween costumes. The teachers have made sure that our son has felt safe and comfortable in every situation. Along with this we are notified when he receives an award or is polite in school. His current teacher goes above and beyond her duties by making the students always enjoy school while also thriving in the learning process. She teaches them to have a global perspective and my husband and I commend her for all of the hard work and dedication she puts in to teaching her kids. Our daughter will be attending Kindergarten in the fall and has Long QT syndrome; a heart condition. The counselor at Emerson has set up meetings and made the process easy for us and our daughter to have an AED and others though out the school system. The is a great burden that has been lifted off of us that makes us feel much more safe when we send her to school. Thank you for everything.

This is a great school until your child gets to 5th and 6th grade. 5th and 6th grade teachers (except for Ms. C) are absolutely terrible.

**Not safe for disabled children. The principle is a bully and uses an SRO to intimidate vulnerable children as well.

This school has changed principals recently. The new principal is still getting his legs after following a very good principal. You have to be careful about who your child gets as a teacher. Some are very good and some just do not seem like they really want to be teachers. Some parents really like this school while others do not and I think that really depends upon who your child gets as a teacher. They are a very punitive school using punishment rather then rewards as encouragement from my perspective.

Whittier faculty are the best! My son has some special needs and the school has come together to make sure that all of his needs are being met!

You could not ask for a better school. Mr Kissel is amazing he knows the students and parents by name. The teachers have the students at the top of their lists. The staff are always pleasent and helpful. All of my children have attended west and loved it. I cant say enough about the experience that my child have had at west.
