We had a terrible experience with Walker. Rough unsupervised playground culture with what we felt were racist responses by staff to an environment they allowed to exist. Poor coordination among team members. High levels of insensitivity. Inadequate resourcing. Senior management right up to Superinte
Posted by a parent on 4/13/2025If you are cool with a fellow student bringing a BB to your child's school then this school will be a great fit for you and your child. If you like the idea of a teacher quitting with 3 day's notice because the kids in the classroom behave so badly then this school will be a perfect fit for you
Posted by a parent on 8/23/2023We are very happy with the school, and the amazing community involvement. Walker pride flows through the neighborhood, and the kids benefit from such involvement from parents and teachers.
Posted by a parent on 4/10/2019The is a top notch school where all three of my kids have thrived.

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe moved our kids in the middle of the school year to ASJA last year from D65. It's been a wonderful transition. The school provides structure, strong academics, excellent teachers with tenure, Diversity!!, lots of extra curriculars for a small school, small class sizes, excelled classes for advanced students and supports for those who need additional help. The school is truly a community with major caregiver and community support. You don't feel like you are the only one volunteering for everything. The community is very supportive and the children are taught to be loving and helpful to their peers. I wish I had known about it sooner - it's not the traditional underfunded Catholic Institution of yesteryear.Parent Review2y ago - The Barbereux School
