Emerson Middle School

Teachers are more concerned with attendance. I asked my child about his english class, he told me all they do is read a few pages of a book and the teachet asks how they like it, and after that they are free to getnom chromebooks or chat with friends.. what kind of english class is that??!

Does not help with effective learning for kids with learning disabilities, they never call you back when you are concerned, the only time they call is if a child missed school that day. I have attempted numerous times to get my child additional help and nothing has happened. They'd rather give them pizza every friday if you came to class the entire week!

Both of my children have come home several times complaining about bullying, the school does NOTHING but say they have it under control! Complete Lies! All they do is sit them in the office for the rest of the day!

I hate it! If I could put my kids into another school outside of their district, I would, but the district keeps telling me I have to wait until open enrollment. Do NOT consider this school for your child, it should be SHUT DOWN IMMEDIATELY! The vice principal is the absolute WORSE, she is never available, she lied and told me she sits in classes everyday to observe the kids and teachers, I asked my kids does she ever come to thier class? They told me she is NEVER there unless the district comes in.. go figure! My kids have never been to a school this bad!

I witnessed a child being put into a choke hold and yelled at by another student. The nearby teacher did nothing to stop it.

I am not sure on how they treat special needs children.

Posted: December 19, 2016

I see no leadership in any of the teachers.

Posted: December 19, 2016

Not in the least! The kids at this school run wild, bully other students, and are even disrespectful to parents and teachers.

Posted: December 19, 2016

They do not take an interest in the student or the progress they are making. They rarely respond to emails or messages regarding any concerns.

Posted: December 19, 2016

Homework is almost never sent home, and once we even had a "graded" essay sent home that was still full of errors that the "teacher" did not catch.

The children at this school are not well behaved, and once I witnessed a student putting another kid in a choke hold while the teacher nearby did nothing about it. The teachers rarely respond to emails or messages about my students progress, and there never seems to be any homework handed out. They have also run out of ink for their printers on two separate occasions, resulting in a week of no reading logs sent home. This is a terrible school, and we plan on removing our child from it as soon as we possibly can.

Cuz they allow bulling and don't punish kids the way they support to when they fight

Posted: October 23, 2015

Kids get beat up and bully the only thing the personal in charge do is transferred kids to different classroom they need to be a lil more harder on bullying situation.

Emerson Middle School - It is disappointing the Bakersfield City School District approved to have "Provisional Internship Permit Holders" teach our children. The students deserve to be given the best opportunity for success in a learning environment taught by a fully credentialed teacher. The classroom is not the appropriate place for the teacher to pratice his/her teaching ability.

I am currently not liking this school at all. Most kids that go there are rude to one another. The campus is disgusting. Oh yeah and one kid stole my wallet wile I was lined up to go to lunch. Enough said. PS. There's fights everyday. I would suggest for your child attend a school other than this one.

My child was beaten up on a regular basis. I even got the police involved since it would happen on the school bus also. The principle at that time offered to put my child in special education classes since they were smaller and it would be easier to protect her. I ended up complaining enough to the board of education to get her moved to another school but the teachers and principle of this school at the time did little or nothing to help.
