Summary

Anna Yates Elementary is a K-8 public school serving 428 students in the Emery Unified district, a community with some of the most extreme educational disparities in the state, where nearby schools range from among the very best to the very worst.

The school is on a clear upward trend, having significantly improved its statewide ranking and reduced chronic student absenteeism by nearly half over the past three years. While its test scores in English, math, and science are below the California average, Anna Yates performs at or above the average for its own district and shows particular strength in supporting African American students and students from low-income families. It achieves this with moderate per-student spending and a favorable student-teacher ratio compared to some neighbors like Peralta Elementary.

When compared to surrounding schools, Anna Yates holds a notable middle ground. It academically outperforms several nearby schools with similar challenges, such as Hoover Elementary and Aspire Berkley Maynard Academy, while trailing high performers like Yu Ming Charter. The school does face a significant challenge with inconsistent performance across grade levels, especially in middle school mathematics, indicating an area for focused growth.

Their anti-bulling program was put into effect a little too late for my child. I found the teacher and principal to be dismissive and even questioned the validity of my claims, in a very disrespectful manner that I would not have expected from a principal.. I have heard many similar concerns from other parents so I truly hope that the current program is effective for the children's sake and their safety. I can not speak on their current program but due to their unconcern for my child the effects from the experience in this school still haunt the interactions at the new school. Close Quote

Anna Yates Elementary is a K-8 school with strong science and arts programs. Thanks to Emeryville's strong tax base, and City Support, it's one of the few schools that have been able to maintain and grow its programs during the Great Recession. This year, all 7th graders received iPads for research and as potential replacements for heavy text books. The School community creates a sense of family and it has been a safe and nurturing place for my two daughters. Check out the school garden, science center, music program and theater class. My daughter's teachers have been great and their test scores are excellent. Close Quote
