My overall experience at Walker High School has been very educational and has been a growing experience. I have attended Walker High School now for two years. Throughout my two years, I have built strong friendships and relationships with many of the staff here. This is truly a great school and I am sad it is coming to an end.

My school offers so many things besides just excellent academics. Not only do they offer a variety of different extra curriculars they also offer many leadership positions and many ambassadorships. My school is a safe environment where I can do my work and also participate in after school activities at ease and with peace.

While this school may have some satisfactory classes and resources, especially in science, it absolutely fails as a mentor to those who are twice exceptional. It also has a subtle religious undertone.
