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.

My son was in the SAS program. He graduated this past June and was sad to leave. He made great friends and flourished at Emerson. We were very happy with our decision to send him there.
