The Walker School has a great learning environment with a very diverse community. Every student comes out of Walker ready for college having experienced everything they need and more in high school. Although sports are not the most dominant in the region, it is still very enjoyable to be part of extra-curricular activities at The Walker School.

I feel like Walker has academically prepared me for college. All the teachers are so amazing and care about their jobs and their students. I am also very appreciative of our college counselors. They are so amazing and they guarantee that you are prepared for your next step in life after graduation. The facility is also very clean and kept up.

Depends on your type of kid. My older daughters were very self sufficient and never questioned authority. My son was successful in 2,3 and 5th grades. 4th was awful. Walker failed to recommend my son for other schools. There staff is fleeing. Significant amount of antisemitism they they hide.

The Walker School is an academically challenging school. If you are only looking for your child to be challenged and advance their academic skills, you'll be set. If, however, you are looking for a well-rounded school that shapes your whole student, this is not the place for you. Walker touts that t...
