Happy National Coming Out Day! Thank you to all of the courageous LGBTQ+ people who bravely step up and out let their sun shine. Every person who speaks up changes more hearts and minds and creates new advocates for equality.

There has been a lot of misinformation being shared by someone running for School Board and I wanted to get the correct data out there. Emery Unified is not "the worst in the East Bay". I don't know by what measure this person is using, but it is not through CAASPP, the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress, the official assessment system for California. This image is all of the data from 2018-2019, the last year of data collection before covid.
Additionally, we graduated 100% of our seniors in 2019, and between 95% (covid) and 98.3% since, much higher than the state average of 85.8%. We have lowered our suspension rate and we have increased teacher retention every year except for 21/22 with the pandemic. We had the highest growth on standardized testing in Alameda County for ELA (English Language Arts) in 2019 and we won the College Board AP District Honor Roll for increasing course offerings and academic success. Last year, US News ranked Emery High in the Top 40% of US High Schools.
I urge you to visit the CA Dashboard or the CAASPP database to explore this information and also to explore the district and school sites to learn more about the amazing community we serve. Thank you for helping to change the narrative and celebrate the successes of our students.

Get the facts and use your voice to demand full and fair funding for our schools!

Despite boasting the fifth-largest economy in the world and the highest gross domestic product of any state, California sits near the bottom nationally in nearly every significant measure of school funding and school staffing.

How can we take more advantage of our wonderful library!?

This crucial institution is being neglected just when we need it the most.
