Scholar's Academy

Walnut Park is a growing community based school. Pros: caring, dedicated teachers and staff; extracurricular activities for students at all grade levels; academics are measured by growth; lots of parental involvement opportunities; lots of access to technology and curriculum resources Cons: the discipline system is unfair (some students seem to be able to do anything they want, others get in trouble for trivial things), lots of standardized testing, many parents don't participate, the extra long school day (7:30-4:30) and long school year (mid August - late June) means that the students get "burnt out", big emphasis on test scores

is very bad. some teachers always have an attitude they always have to keep doing everything they can but the kids are very bad Ashland has dsipline issues if you look at there grade scores you can tell the teachers try to teach them something but too many class interruptions so good luck getting ur kid into this school.

I went here from kindergarten to second grade. When I first started, some random girl pinched me. I don't remember much from this school, but my advice is don't let anyone get close to you on your first day of kindergarten.

I have two boys, I tried for three years straight to get one of my sons into this school each year he was denied and it was never explained to me as of why. This year I got a call back with the ultimatum of he can come but he has to repeat preschool. my other son was not allowed because he told a teacher NO. this school does not take into consideration that every child learns different, or reacts differently to a new environment (you have to drop your child off). I reached out to different parents that went through the enrollment and Everyone I spoke with and almost the same experience when it came to their little boys, and every little girl got in. I also considered having my son repeat but when I went into more detail as to why he was repeating it was for small things like getting the M and W mixed up. I do not recommend this school to parents.
