This School’s Reviews

4.0 Sophomore

5/26/2026

The school is very big and outdated. There are lots of articles in the news about the age of the building and the need for a new campus but nothing happens. It's very crowded and students have to walk outside (in PA winters!) to get to various parts of the building.

It's been ok, it's been rough to get where I am but the school was overall ok. Sometimes the students make it harder to learn when they want to Interrupt the class but the teacher doesn't say anything.

My experience at Emmaus High School has been a very bumpy ride. from freshman year to senior year, a lot of stuff has changed. some in a good way, others not so good. I wish I could say there weren't any bad times here, but looking back at it now, there sure was. from only one bathroom being open for a week, to past teachers assigning up to 10 assignments a day. But, all in all, I made it through, because the classwork wasn't that hard.

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.

10/28/2022

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.
