Fairview Primary School

Walnut Park is a growing community based school. Pros: caring, dedicated teachers and staff; extracurricular activities for students at all grade levels; academics are measured by growth; lots of parental involvement opportunities; lots of access to technology and curriculum resources Cons: the discipline system is unfair (some students seem to be able to do anything they want, others get in trouble for trivial things), lots of standardized testing, many parents don't participate, the extra long school day (7:30-4:30) and long school year (mid August - late June) means that the students get "burnt out", big emphasis on test scores

School is over crowded. There were 30 kids in my child's 6th grade class. Both 6th grade teachers were new teachers. There have been a new principal at this school every year. I am glad my child no longer attends.

I have never had a problem with this school greta teachers & staff always helpful....

Our school is under construction for improvements. We have a new Instructional Leaders and several ambitious Instructional Facilitators. Our Instructional Leaders is making progress to execute us to a 5STAR school. I like the new bright classrooms and elevator that is being implemented to provide a comfortable environment. Our school is improving by enlisting new advocates for our children and providing continuous professional development.
