Personally I think and feel that ER is one of the best HS that I know, and Puyallup can have. Although is a public High School, Emerald Ridge has diversity courses, great and qualified teachers and stuff, the community in general is friendly and kind, but if we talk about the studens' spirit , I can tell you that is AMAZING, they love being jags, give and share that energy with everyone during sports, clubs and activities in general.

Emerald Ridge is a great school. There is many ups and downs, as there is to every high school. Emerald Ridge didn't make the high school experience the worst thing ever. The best parts of my experience there was. definitely the people and the PJ dance. That has to be my best memory ever. The worst parts was some of the teachers and the way they treated you. Some things I would like to see change is the amount of activities there is at the high school. For example, there could be more dances, more "field days", events so that kids nad their friends can be more interactive.

Emerald Ridge Highschool is a good school. I would say a really good thing about the school is the career and counseling center. There are many counselors for students and they can be very helpful with anything like schedules and what classes are needed. There are also a good amount of sports and clubs offered at this school. I feel like they could be better with updating running start students about changes and different schedules.

Worst front desk ever they are extremely rude and don’t know how to talk at all

My reasons for my rating are very simple and clear. I am a full time running start student and due to COVID I never got the chance to interact with this building or with the staff. Today, I went into the building for the first time and my first interaction was with the front desk lady. She was neith...

Office people are overall useless and blame every issue they have on students. Staff are hypocritical and quite awful at times. This is in middle of nowhere and an hour walk from the nearest store, without any coverage inside he prison-like walls. I wouldn't be surprised if iron bars and wall paddin...
