This school is not the kind and safe school everyone thinks it is. This years theme is to let your light shine but the whole time I've been here I've been in complete DARKNESS.

Very expensive for my family, while most family's get a free ride having multiple tuitions paid by the state. I feel like the teachers are just going through the motions. I don't think they get to know the students that well. Testing is okay, if the child is actually tested correctly. We may just send our children to public school, maybe. This school is better than public school I guess, seems like it. The Administration is pretty good.

Mainly the teachers and my class. In all honesty, my school being a small private school has its downsides and upsides. The upsides are that's it is Adventist, and that helps with my faith. The downsides are that the students tend to be in a "holier than though" mindset, not all, but from my years there I, and others have experienced that. Education wise, I like Walker, and if someone you know decides to go there, I hope they enjoy it like I have .

Amazing school! Wonderful kids and parents. The administration is the problem. Lack of respect. Lack of leadership. No interest in accountability.

I thought this school is built on God. But I don’t see Him there. The students are just plain evil.

Teachers/Staff/principal and all those who work or volunteer in this school have much love for all the kids who attend here. It shows by how much the kids love them back. Its having a huge family and not being related at all. They are here for you and give it their all. I appreciate each and one of...
