    "I am an incoming 7th grader and I really don't like this school. The kids are very mean and annoying. Also, we lost three of our best teachers. Since I have an IEP and a BII, it is worse for me. Many kids are making fun of me because I have this. The only good thing about this school is the academics."

    "I previously reviewed this school when my daughter started 6th Grade last fall and I am happy to report that she continues to thrive at Emerson. She has participated in many interesting and unique learning experiences. She travelled to Yosemite and Catalina with her science teacher. She has read so many books in her English class (and an equal number of additional books through the Accelerated Reader program), written many essays and engaged in thought-provoking discussions in class. The most significant evidence that my daughter is inspired by her teachers is that she enjoys coming home and telling us about what she's learned. What more could we ask for."

    "I am an alumni of this school and nothing could have prepared me more for high school than emerson middle school. I learned how to take notes, do my homework efficiently, and fully understand rather than just learn. I am also part of one of the first graduating classes of the Emerson Sports Academy, which has played a key role in me balancing my school with my soccer. I would recommend school to anyone willing to learn"

    "I love Emerson! I'm a 7th grader, and I am in Emerson Sports Academy (ESA) and they really stress how important good note taking, studying, and academics are for you to succeed in high school. I also love stage crew. Our science class is amazing and we just did projects on cell structure and got to see the 8th grade designs and testing for the egg drops. Everybody needs to come visit to see what a great place Emerson is and meet our cool new principal."

    "The academics here are terrible. Most of the actual good teachers all left the year before and more are leaving this year. The only good thing here is the drama program and the fact that you can easily take geometry in 9th grade. I am a student and feel as if everyday I am just falling farther and farther behind in acadmics. There are many disruptive and crude children attending this school."
