Summary:
Elementary schools in Emerson Public School District consist of one school, Memorial School, serving prekindergarten through grade 3 and enrolling 374 students. The clearest academic finding is that Memorial’s grade 3 results were above state averages in both ELA and math in both years reported, with the largest lead in ELA: 12 percentage points in 2025–2026.
Memorial School is both the highest- and lowest-ranked school in this list by default; there is no second school for a meaningful local comparison. In 2025–2026, 60% of Memorial’s grade 3 students met expectations in ELA, compared with 48% statewide, while math was 55% versus 49% statewide. In 2024–2025, ELA was 57% at Memorial and 45% statewide, and math was 57% and 50%, respectively. These results show a consistent advantage over the state, especially in ELA.
Results moved in different directions over the two years: Memorial’s ELA score rose by 4 percentage points, from 57% to 60%, while its math score fell by 2 points, from 57% to 55%. SchoolDigger placed the school at the 49th percentile in 2023–2024, the 65th in 2024–2025, and the 64th in 2025–2026; its latest ranking was 479th of 1,331 schools, with 3 stars. Other context for families includes a 13.1 student–teacher ratio and 9% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025. Chronic absenteeism was 7% that year, below the state’s 14% but slightly above the district’s 6%. Because this is the only school listed, the data cannot show how its enrollment, staffing, or income measure compares with other local schools.
