The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Great community; most kids walk or bike to school. Dedicated staff and PTO. The kids have so many fun events going on aside from academics.

This school is amazing. We have had three kids go through Emerson. It has been a wonderful experience. This school should be rated much higher.

I have three children at this school. It is fantastic. I do not understand how Great Schools has it as a 6. It should be a 10 in my opinion. It is a great school, and the families that are part of the Emerson community are just incredible.
