Ralph Waldo Emerson Middle School is a middle school in the Los Angeles Unified School District in Los Angeles, California.
The school offers a variety of special academic programs, each unique. They include the Mathematics Engineering and Science Achievement (MESA), the School for Advanced Studies (SAS), and the Individualized Honors Program(IHP).
Emerson is one of two schools in LAUSD to offer IHP.
The school was named in honor of Ralph Waldo Emerson, the American author, poet, and philosopher.
Attendance area
Neighborhoods served by Emerson Middle include West Los Angeles, Beverly Glen, Beverly Hills Post Office[1] Westwood, Bel-Air, Sawtelle, Benedict Canyon, the Wilshire Corridor [1], and Holmby Hills. Also included in its service area are relatively distant canyon neighborhoods adjacent to the city of Beverly Hills; since the neighborhoods are in Los Angeles, the students are not in the Beverly Hills Unified School District boundaries.
School uniforms
Emerson students are required to wear school uniforms [2]. The uniforms are a white collared shirt (with or without Emerson logo) and navy blue pants, shorts, or skirt.
Notable alumni
Feeder Schools
Elementary Schools that feed into Emerson include Fairburn Elementary School, Saturn Elementary School, Canfield Elementary School, Warner Avenue Elementary School, Westwood Charter School, and Overland Avenue Elementary School. All of these schools are public.
Students that graduate from Emerson often go to University High School, Hamilton High School, or Venice High School, as the Emerson attendance zone overlaps with the attendance zones of the three high schools.
