I've read the reviews and at least one student complained about Emerson focusing on test and test scores. To that I say, if test scores have improved that means the students are indeed learning. That's a good thing! Also consistently low scores could possibly get that school shut down. I'm sure many parents wouldn't like that now that the school is starting to turn around. Principal Brown has been making great strides towards the success of each student. He communicates weekly via email, text, or phone. He also encourages the parents to be hands on and all in when it comes to their child(ren). But it's not just about academics. Emerson has a music department, sports such as volleyball & basketball and school dances. There is always room for improvement but Dr. Brown (principal) is making an effort and he does care for the students well being. So in the end you get what you put in to it....work with the teachers, principal & your child(ren) & they are guaranteed to succeed! Btw....I have an 8th grade student there!
