    "I am an 8th grader at Emerson and i absolutely love it! In 6th grade i was a little frightened to start middle school but the moment i stepped foot into the school everyone gave me warm welcomes. i was apart of ESA-emerson sports academy, which provides an amazing program for sports lovers. in 7th grade i decided to join costume design. Our school is the only school in LAUSD that has this class which is pretty amazing. This year i'm in the drama program and i love it!!! we also got a new principal this year and he is absolutly amazing. In 6th grade i met my 2 best friends but they switched school this year but i still had friends i could rely on. i'm going to miss emerson once i start high school"

    "Though I was an SAS student at Emerson, I have to admit that the IHP program will really give your child an incredible 2 year boost in math. Some of my friends are already in precalculus in 10th grade because of this phenomenal program. Not to mention the Drama and arts pogram- the best plays you could ever see at a middle school! I will mever regret attending this wonderful school."

    "I have 6th & 7th grade daughters at Emerson. I will start by saying, "I wish I had every minute back that I spent worrying about middle school" My girls couldn't be happier with their classes, their teachers, their friends & the convenience of living 4 minutes from their school. For me I love the receptive & appreciative faculty who expect nothing but are genuinely grateful for everything I do for them! The overnight field trips so far have been spectacular. The IHP program for me as a parent is what sealed the deal. Since Emerson is only one of 2 schools who offer this advanced level class I figured I would not be doing my girls a favor by not challenging them. The other school that offers this IHP program is in North Hollywood. Couldn't be happier!!!!!"

    "I have two daughters who have attended Emerson, and both have been extremely happy at the school. The core academics have kept them challenged (they are both in IHP-- the high honors program), they have enjoyed the electives (both sports and drama) but what might be most important is that they have been happy, immersed, comfortable and they have pride in their school. They come home from school every day feeling good, and during the middle school years when kids can be mean and awkward and moody, that is saying a lot."

    "I have a 7th grader and 8th grader at Emerson and I couldn t be happier with the education they are receiving. The English teachers use novels to stimulate critical analysis. UCLA scientists come into many of the classrooms each week to conduct labs with the students. The Math Department has classes for students of all abilities including classes that are up to two years ahead of the standard classes for middle school grade levels. The History Department has a number of outstanding teachers who make history fun and interesting. If you are a fan of the performing arts, the Play Production class puts on two amazing plays per year with assistance from the Stage Crew class and Costume Design. All 6th graders participate in Drama, which even includes aerial instruction! In addition to all of this Emerson organizes some great field trips, including a 6th grade winter field trip to Yosemite. Not only is Emerson currently a terrific school, but it now has a new principal with a great vision for its future. His collaborative approach with faculty, students and parents is sure to make Emerson even better."
