We've had multiple kids attend this school and have always appreciated the teachers, leadership, and support staff at this school. My kids are genuinely sad when the year ends and are actually excited about going back to see everyone once summer is almost over. This speaks volumes about the caring environment at this school. Everyone in the school obviously cares about the students.At a district level, Westerville has some work to do. Communication throughout the district is poor, district level leadership seems complacent and uninterested, any complaints I would have about the school, in my opinion, are top down issues that are the result of lazy leadership. Hawthorne succeeds in spite of district leadership.

My child's experience with this school was overall just descent. The 5/10 academic rating I agree with. For most part the teachers during my child's three years there were all relatively the same, as far as communication. Unless you advocate for your children, you would never really know where your child's needs improvement or simply just keeping you in the loop of your children's progress. No staff member ever exceeded helping my child ,or went above & beyond . They kept right at minimum level. For upcoming parents of children's attending Walnut Springs, please stay advocating & the staff will see you in a different light . I Stayed on top of everything.

I love the diversity at this school and also it’s strong staff, they will go by all means do as much as they can!!
