Walker Junior High School

lots of bullying and discrimination between students in this school, the staff "raises awareness", but it is not effective because they do not know how to handle actual bullying. the teachers are kind, but most of them do not know how to handle a chaotic classroom nor do they know how to show authority. Another thing about the teachers here is that they play favoritism, which is to my opinion, unfair to other students. overall, i do not recommend this school for your child.

I brought my son here on an interdistrict transfer after hearing about their great STEAM program. So glad I did. The program is amazing and continues on into high school. There are many opportunities for students to get involved (sports, eSports, the arts). Teachers are nice and communicative, administration is responsive to our needs. The "issues" people have raised (like bullying) are no worse than any school anywhere, and my son has said it's just a handful of students who tend to get themselves into drama anyway. I can't believe this school gets only a 6/10 Great Schools rating. It is a hidden gem. I will be bringing my daughter here next year!

I have my middle child here now and he enjoys the school greatly. I know the teachers are motivated and dedicated to our next generation!

Walker prepared me for JFK really well.

Attentive teachers for my kids. School is setting them up for success in high school and beyond.
