Summary

Emerson Elementary School is a public Pre-K through 5th grade school in the Everett School District, serving 662 students in an area with a high level of economic need.

While Emerson's overall state ranking is in the lower half, a closer look reveals significant strengths, particularly in its effectiveness with high-need student groups like English Language Learners and students from low-income families; it performs notably better in these areas than nearby schools with similar demographics, such as Horizon Elementary and Discovery Elementary in the Mukilteo School District. The school has shown a clear and positive trend of improvement over the last four years and achieves these outcomes while spending less per student than several comparison schools, including Madison Elementary.

Academically, Emerson shows a particular strength in 4th-grade math, but performance dips in 5th grade, indicating a potential area for focused support. Compared to other schools in the region, Emerson's story is one of a school on an upward trajectory within a stronger-performing district, demonstrating efficient use of resources and effective strategies for supporting its most vulnerable students, even as it works to raise achievement for all.
