The Etowah County Refocus Center

It has been horrible and continues to be the same. Hopefully someone will eventually deal with this school I am a baseball coach for 6/7 year old kids from this area and have seen over 100 students changing schools because of the same problems here please think before you send your children here.

Great experience- students are pushed to access their own learning through standard based report cards and learning portfolios--

I love this school and all the teachers and staff. If you treat them with dignity and respect, and if you behave with some humility, they will be more receptive to you just like anyone else would. If you go in there with an attitude of entitlement, the staff and teachers will still treat you with respect, which speaks volumes to the character of the teachers and staff as a whole. They are doing everything they can to take care of your children and help them become successful in life; and that includes the principal, who is a wonderful individual indeed, and is involved with and dedicated to her students every day. The way I see the teachers and staff just love kids, including my own, is really special. Don't underestimate this school just because some other parents saw fit to complain because they didn't get their way here. This is about what's best for your children, and in that regard I can give only the highest recommendation to Walnut Park Elementary School, its teachers, and staff. Even the custodians are respectable and friendly individuals who care! I am sad that this is my oldest child's last year here because of the relationships with the great teachers and staff she will be leaving behind. I'd give this school 100 stars if I could.
