I love the school as a whole. As a graduate from Disney I brought along a lot of life lessons. At the school I was pushed to do my best and work hard to become better. The school is really diverse and having CAC programs really allowed me to learn more about other ethnicity. The teachers there were really supportive and made sure I was ready for college and wouldn't have any doubt. The school made sure I was safe at all times and kept clear of any danger.

There...

I’m a parent of a 7th grader and a 4th grader at Walt Disney Magnet School and we’ve had such a great experience here! The school really goes above and beyond to make sure students are safe and cared for. I've read the previous review about safety, we've had a very different experience. The administ...
