treats students well, students learn a lot.

My son has been attending since 2025, Ms. Simmons classroom. All his teachers are warm and caring, he keeps talking highly about them.  I get teacher's  email every Friday about what happened in school that week, and teachers (main teacher and interventionalist) were have been very accommodating to the needs of my kid.  Academics is excellent, a lot of emphasis on reading and math. Principal James Gray is approachable, father of four himself. He holds monthly coffee hours when you can come and talk to him directly (and is available by email). PTA is active and effective, no drama, no politics. There are many opportunities for parent involvement,  I haven’t taken them and  there is no pressure. I had many concerns from less-than-positive reviews and D65 issues but everything has been outstanding across the board. We are very happy with the school and are lucky to be a part of Walker community.  

My experience at the school was in the middle. I would see Everston Township is false advertisement. They do not provide safety as much as they say they do. They do not keep students safe as much as they say they do. They also do not have such a good emotional support system. Many adults in there are very disrespectful and get upset when students are disrespectful back, but in a place like that, we are all supposed to feel welcomed safe like family and respected, but they don’t speak on the bad there are staff members there that are entirely rude. They will argue back-and-forth with you. There are teachers there that don’t try to help and support students when they are struggling on work. punishments are so unfair there mainly towards black kids Evanston Township talks about how diverse it is, but it doesn’t talk about also how racist it is.
