This school has potential, but unfortunately, I found the owner unwilling to make meaningful changes and felt that parent concerns were not taken seriously.My child was physically harmed by other children on multiple occasions. This included being punched in the stomach, having her hair pulled out,
Posted by a parent on 9/3/2026My daughter attended EMA for five years - all through elementary school. I loved the small community environment and just as she made friends with the kids in her studio (they don't have grades), I also made lasting friendships with many of the parents there - friendships that continue to this day e
Posted by a parent on 8/18/2026I am giving two stars because the school is inclusive and welcomes children with a wide range of needs.

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageSince getting new administration our school has taken an even greater turn for the better! Our principal is a leader who pushes our students and staff to succeed and do their best. Our teachers TRULY love our students and would do anything for them. Interventions are in place for students who are struggling, AIG is in place for students who are excelling, and there are plenty of extra curricular activities for students such as after school, tutoring, violin, soccer, cheerleading, and more! The school has ramped up its community and parent involvement through tons of school events like hispanic heritage night, black history night, kickball night, smores night, reading events, sneaker balls, plays, musical performances, etc. The progress at this school is really something you want to be a part of!Teacher Review2y ago - Immaculata Catholic School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis is review of admission and communication process. One of two of my kids were accepted and offered admission. Zero empathy or response from the principal, impersonal and canned communications from admissions director. Would absolutely NOT recommend this school.Parent Review1y ago
