EMERSON HIGH SCHOOL

Emerson High School is a Title I public high school that is part of the Lake Washington School District school district, located in Kirkland, WA with about 54 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th 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 9 teachers, Emerson High School has a student/teacher ratio of about 6:1. 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 High School, located in Kirkland, Washington, is an alternative high school within the Lake Washington School District.
