My kids have been going to Walnut Hills for 3 years now. I cannot say enough of this school. Just great!
GreatSchools Reviews

This is is our 3rd year at Walnut Hills and we love it! It has a very strong family feeling and my daughter is doing well academically! It is a small public school and that is another reason we love it!
3/9/2016
We love Walnut Hills. My children love coming to school every single day. The community is also very involved with lots of opportunities for parents/family to volunteer. I have seen both my kids blossom since moving to Walnut Hills. It really is a great school.
5/27/2015
Warm, loving teachers and an incredible community. My son has been very happy at this school.
4/29/2014
Walnut Hills lived up to it's reputation. It was an amazing school that provided a wonderful, nurturing environment for my child. I was really impressed with their dedication to the arts and community without sacrificing a high academic standard. I will miss this school so much.
