From an academic perspective, I think Walnut Creek is great. This is our first year at Walnut Creek and I've been very impressed with the teachers, administration, and staff. My child also really enjoys going to school at Walnut Creek. What I've been unimpressed with so far has been the PTO. It seems

There is a good deal of parent involvement but through personal experience, I have learned that the PTO participants have lost what the true meaning of their organization means.
