Emery Collegiate Institute

Former student, graduated in 2011 and attended from 2007 - 2011.Please avoid this school if at all possible. Home schooling would be a better option than spending 4 years of your life here.The quality of education is bottom of the barrel at best. The courses are heavily watered down in order to allow more students to pass. The end result is poor education that doesn't prepare you adequately for University / College. If you’ve earned As at Emery CI, you'll be earning Ds and Cs for the first two years in university. If you’re at Emery CI right now and planning on going to university, I highly recommend supplementing your education with additional material from online courses before starting university.Many of the teachers are nice, easy to get along with and go the extra mile to help their students succeed. There are some exceptions, some teachers are so out of touch with reality that their teaching licenses should be revoked.The student population in general are subpar. Majority of them lack common sense, decency, morals, manners and intelligence. Only a handful of students aspire to gain an education and move forward to higher education or the work force.The school’s environment is generally clean, however there are messy pockets around the school. Some of the exterior around the school is crumbling like the sidewalks. The layout, lighting and interior of the building is depressing and can have a big impact on student’s learning.The tech equipment available to students is outdated and is often non-functional. This extends to computers, projectors and TVs.Overall, terrible education, horrible students, decent environment, outdated technology and good teachers.

Not the best school to go to. The teachers are nice and there are a variety of courses, but the students are terrible. Half of them sit around in the halls, and the other half care just enough to pass. You can see this from the yearly results of this school, almost always at the bottom of the list. Note mentioning is that this school does not cover the material actually needed for University, at least not enough for first year engineering or anything of the sort, even if you were in their cyber science course. A lot of other schools cover far more than this school, and maybe that's because only 1% of the students can actually keep up.

Emery CI is a good school. If you are new, I urge you to not be distructed by bad students and if just do your work, you will be ok. I still remember some of the best teachers who never gave up, even though some students became very impolite. I express my respect and thanks to Mrs. Billard, Sammy Benyamin, Maria Fuentes, Barbara Florence, Audrey Dwyer, Mrs. Enta, and many more. I appreciate all the support and good work that the teachers did and do for us. Thank you.Be blessed!

This school sucks, ghetto students who think that they are all that, and can mess around with any one they want. But it is not only students, this school has the most worst teachers in the world, they dont care about your future and they only come there to walk around and mock students. In class, students act like monkeys and teachers dont give a damn. I dont even know how this school is standing right now, it has some of the most stupidest people in the world, from stupid students who come to skip class the whole day to old ass teachers who wont even retire even if they found out they were about to die. Never come to this school, only come come if you are looking to graduate with no future. I mean its not impossible to get a good future but you gotta work harder for it, cause you gotta learn every god damn thing in class yourself and you have to deal with stupid teachers yourself too, so that they dont fail you for no reason. I know some teachers that have failed students just because they didnt like the student, and also teachers failing more than half the students in a class. Right now i think that this school will prolly close down in like 2/3 years. Never come to this school.

I decided to take some courses at the Adult Learning Center. The first day was completely chaotic. There was NOstructure and lesson plans. I sat there overwhelmed and kept asking other students do you get this". I did not receive any course outline or was given due dates. It was chaos."

This is the best high school I’ve been to the staff teachers are very nice.

Ghetto school that helped me get street smart.Teachers are awesome but students were the worst!Class of 2009

Despite all the fights and stabbings back when I went here from 2009-12, it’s a decent school. In terms of aesthetics and how it looks, it’s not the prettiest, nor cleanest, nor friendly.What’s it got was personality and effort as the teachers here tried to make it a home for the students. Some obviously more than others but for the most part, the teachers really do care. You get bad apples in teachers just as much as students.The 4 years that I spent here helped me from a mental standpoint but did not prepare me educational wise. I was a decent B/70-80 student but that didn’t matter when post secondary hit as I was shown the reality of how watered down the curriculum and syllabus was of highschool which makes sense as they want to pass students to get them out rather than keep them back and deal with them again.Will I always rep the school? Yes. Did I have fun and made some good memories? Yes. Would I enrol my own kids here in the future? No thanks.

Great school, the teachers and staff are great, perhaps even better than the animatronics at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza.In all seriousness, though, I am currently a student in grade 11 at this school. My experience has been very different in this school due to the pandemic, and my opinions may be somewhat biased due to that, but it really is a great school.I know this place used to be referred to as the worst school in the area, but that was due to the poor administration. Ever since the current principal took over, Emery CI has been a much better place, it seems.Sure, there are fights that happen every once in a while, but that's just because of a few students who don't really know any better.Teachers are great, shoutout to Mr. Carey, by the way. If anyone is reading this review a couple of years in the future, make sure to thank your teachers and treat them with respect because they deserve all of it.
