The Walker School

I can't believe this school get 5 star my daughter attended there she was a very good child .I noticed her behavior has changed completely she becomes very disrespected to us where is she get that ? There are some great people and Teacher there but ,not all. her teacher doesn't really care .I regret enrolled her there .

Horrible communication!!! This is my child's 1st year in a Marietta school and I have never had to repeatedly ask a teacher for information about the curriculum, my child's online sign in so that the work can be accessed at home, projects, or graded papers like I am having to do here. I expected more, but I see in some of the other reviews that I am not the only one with these issues. I was even told that the students don't get much to do for homework because they don't have help at home or they don't do it. I am always giving an excuse each time I ask questions. I have never left it up to a school system to educate my child completely. In order for students to study and retain the information, work needs to be practiced at home as well. My child has never had a problem until she got to this school and it hasn't even been a full year. It is easy to blame the student when the parent isn't involved, but I'm not that parent. It is the teachers that are failing. I understand why the test scores and rankings are so low now.

I cannot recommend West Side Elementary enough! We have had the best experience there since 2015 as my 4 children have attended and one is still there. It is a wonderful school with excellent teachers who are caring and well trained. The principal and leadership staff are dynamic and know each child by name and make them feel seen. The gifted program is so fun and there are multiple counselors who visit the classrooms monthly and can be seen by appointment. There are plenty of clubs and activities for children to take part in. As a parent there are also multiple ways to volunteer and get to know others at the school. On a public forum it is easy to complain but there is a reason why so many families want to move to be in this district. I feel very grateful for our time at West Side and can say that my children have had a fabulous preparation for middle and high school.

I am so thankful for this school. It's my child's first school and to date his best experience. Their patience and care are unlike any other. They aid my little prince, who has special needs, with all the tools he needed to strive and succeed. They made him gained valuable lessons on how to make friends and converse with others. Special love and thanks to all the special teachers and staff. You made my RJ greater.

The school has punished my child for reporting a physical threat made by another child. This heavy handed level of enforcement to groom children not to report harm is unacceptable. Its poor decisoning by the very inexperienced Principal. We are filing legal action.
