Chalybeate Elementary School

As a former student of walnut, this school has been a crude awakening. There are very few teachers who actually care about the curriculum, and the ones that do are great people. However, the school is very corrupt. The principal and the vice principal are completely biased towards who they treat with kindness. The sports are the most important aspect of this school. There are students in the school who are downright rude and disrespectful. Usually these mean students are actually children of staff members. They are let off easily and are far more privileged than an average student. It is a toxic environment and if you are a student who is not involved with sports or not a part of the close knit community you are shunned. You are not cared for, your concerns are not heard, you are not important at this school unless you are in the right crowd. If your parents are not buddy buddy close with the staff then you’re in for it. I respect the teachers who took care of children who were neglected by the unfortunate circumstances, and the teachers who genuinely cared and gave their all to teaching the students. There is not many of those kinds of teachers, and im grateful for them. It is not equal here. The community is a great place however, Chalybeate and Falkner are far better school options for your child to go to.
