At Walnut Grove High School, I have had an overall wonderful experience. The teachers are mostly kind. You can tell they care about their students. They handle most situations with maturity and care. They are always willing to lend a hand when someone needs help. The students are not always respectful, but the teachers handle them with care as well. I love WGHS. There is nowhere else I would have wanted to go more.
