GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I was bullied and all the kids were white I don't get how they got an a in diversity anyway the sports were the worst and the food tasted like garbage in a porta potty own by a chilli festival and I didn't have fun now I work in McDonald's and in community college the place is a cheap stake and all those a ratings look where it got me.

When I went to Walker, it was a lot of fun. I especially LOVED the band elective, because my teacher was sooo great at teaching us; I started out as a very bad flute player but ended up in their second highest band, I got many medals from the states in the Solo and Ensemble Festival, and we had many fun trips to places like Disney, we even had a session to play at Disney in their music academy. If you aspire to be a musician, or anything else, I recommend walker.

My son has spent the last 3 year at Walker and had a great experience! The teachers, faculty and staff are great! I'm excited that my daughter is starting 6th grade there and look forward to her having a great education and experience as well.
