Walther was the best choice for our daughter's high school education needs. I love the student-teacher ratio, and the push from the educators and support for the students to do their best. The extracurricular activities are also a plus for me, I love that my daughter can be busy with positive things and learning life skills.

My son has been a student at Walther since 7th grade, and I could not be more satisfied with the quality of education, diversity, and opportunities my son has while attending. The staff is amazing and I would highly recommend this school to students seeking a quality education and high school experience!!!

My son and I have some issues with administration and behavior, but the school works with him to keep him on track. I appreciate the patience and consistency with informing me of any questions or concerns the school may have. Mrs. Urban had been a life saver in her academic assistance with my son. Overall I recommend the school for safety, involvement and caring for my child.
