Summary

Timmerman Elementary enrolls 370 students in grades K–5 in Emporia, Kansas, and is one of several elementary schools serving the area.

My twins are in Timmerman. They absolutely love it. The principal is extremely responsive in replying and addressing any concerns. I am very picky and have only been impressed with this school this far. The teachers you can tell are happy to be there. PTO is great and I feel very warmed and welcome when volunteering in class or at their parties. If there was a scale of 1-10, I'd rate Timmerman a 10! Close Quote
