EMERSON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Emerson Elementary is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Milwaukee School District school district, located in Milwaukee, WI with about 260 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 5th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 10 teachers, Emerson Elementary has a student/teacher ratio of about 26:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Emerson Elementary is a public school located in the Silver Spring neighborhood of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and operates as part of the Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) district. Serving students in the elementary grades, the school focuses on providing a foundational education aligned with the district's broader academic standards. Its mission typically emphasizes creating a supportive learning environment that promotes student growth, literacy, and social-emotional development within the local community.

The school is situated on West Lawrence Avenue and functions as a neighborhood anchor, offering resources and programs tailored to the needs of its diverse student body. Like many schools within the MPS system, Emerson Elementary leverages district-wide initiatives to support classroom instruction and encourages parent and community involvement to foster student success.
