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

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!

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.

Warm, loving teachers and an incredible community. My son has been very happy at this school.

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.
