John H Walker Middle School

School is very dirty; bathrooms look like they haven't been cleaned in years, big mice and rodent infestation. School secretary is not a very nice person she looks overwhelmed and takes her frustrations out on parents. Parents and some of teachers are very cliquey and keep your child out of things and make them feel really bad.

We love Spring Garden! The teachers are incredibly dedicated and my child comes home happy and curious. The PTA is very involved and there are plenty of family opportunities. Every spring they do a Strawberry Festival which is a pop up carnival in the big field out back. I wish there was more racial diversity across teachers and staff but they do a good job on introducing holidays that aren’t only based in Christianity. We are very happy with our experiences! You are lucky if you are zones for SGS!

Very nice school and great academics. My daughter attended kindergarten last year (and loved every minute of it) and will start first grade this fall. We love the school and the town. Mrs L was amazing. Thank you.

This school is unprofessional. Went through the admission process since June 2025. Got everything they asked for: 2 letters of recommendation, 2 years grades, and 2 years standardized tests. Also needed an interview with the principal. I had to do numerous follow ups just to get an interview, which was later postponed. The week of 8/11 I finally went in for the interview. Was told I’d hear back on a couple of days. I was ghosted. No response. I followed up, no response. I could have sent my son to a different school. Totally unprofessional. They need to realize that this has an impact on my family. I expected better from this school. Also, the different seasonal uniform requirement are ridiculous.

This school does not support children with special needs such as Autism who have an ISP.
