Walsh Elementary School

Best school in the area hands down. I see previous old reviews of principal not being good, well this current principal is great, nothing like the old reviews. Teachers are for the most part great and comunicate with parents effectively. Only had one person give issues but after addressed to the principal have had no further issues. More is being offered at the school regarding activities and early start to doors being open earlier. Overall great school with great people especially for a city school. Overall great staff at this school.

Went to school there. terrible principal she was and still is rude and condescending she definitely needs to be fired, told my family that my IEP and 504 was fake and that i didn’t need one let alone never used it when i got one (which schools are legally required to follow an IEP) had a therapist and psychiatrist come in to tell them that i definitely needed certain requirements and still never cared, a few rude teachers and translators that were there, had one teacher tell my mother that my family needed counseling and i was faking everything. the way they would talk to students should be talked about more. will never send my kids here and will always advocate how terrible this school really is.

Overall, this school has significant challenges due to student behavior. While the teachers try to provide a positive learning environment, many students act inappropriately, particularly some of the boys who make inappropriate jokes, behave immaturely around the girls, or even engage in bullying. This behavior makes the school uncomfortable and distracting, making it hard for other students to focus and feel safe. The school was better in the past, when students were more respectful and things felt calmer. Even with the staff’s efforts, the current student behavior has made the school less welcoming to new students.
