This School’s Reviews

4.0 Senior

6/2/2025

Emmaus High School set me up very well having a diverse group of students, classes, and club activities that prepared me for jobs and college in the future. The best part was the ability to find your group of people and the overall ability to learn how and what you wanted to learn. The worst part was the lack of recognition to the less popular sports and activities. Overall, I was very happy with how Emmaus ran things and the only thing I might change is how the school recognizes high achieving students.

I enjoyed the amount of education and opportunities I recieved. I would like to see that in the future everyone is required to take personal finance management because everyone that does take the course, says that its very useful for the future. I would also recommend for the food quality and taste to improve. Lastly, I would like to see the social culture change; a lot of cliques in the school.

Emmaus High School is a good high school. It has something to do for everyone to suit their interests. Majority of the teachers are great and are very helpful. The school environment isn't the greatest as there are a minimum of 2 fights a week and students don't tend to connect with one another unless they have received "validation" As far as preparing you for college, they aren't the best but aren't the worst. Overall, I've had a decent experience at Emmaus High School.

The school provides little to no supports for individuals from low income families which keeps the barriers that prevent those families from becoming involved in their students education existent. I think that the staff and administration and teachers don’t have the proper training to be able to ide...

Horrible excuse of a school. The entire school board should be fired. I would bet they are steeling the Covid money.

this school is has the worst standards i've ever seen. the teachers and other staff don't care about any of the students and do not stand by their words. there are fights that break out regularly and the students are not even disciplined properly for their behavior. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

The school is awful and is very overhyped. The school board itself doesn’t care about the students and majority of teachers don’t care about the students and are only there for the money.
