Run. Don't walk. Do NOT send your daughter to this school. They RUIN young girls. The culture is toxic to its core. So sad, at one time this was a wonderful community.

I am a senior at Walkers and have genuinely adored my time here. In the past three years, I have been here, I have seen the school make a positive change led by students. The teachers encourage students to speak their minds and challenge them constantly. The biggest takeaway from this school is that I am a person before I am a woman. I am going into film and have learned a lot at Walkers. I am able to learn and use my voice without the patriarchy limiting me. When attending both pre-college programs, I am spoken over due to the fact that, socially, women are encouraged to not use their voice. Walkers has given me the tools to fight the walls that are put up around me as a queer women. I have grown in ways I don't think I ever would outside of here and I encourage all young girls + to attend walkers.

Gone here since middle school, and it has been mainly a positive experience. The community and teachers really make the school what it is.

Terrible. Run as fast as you can.

I think EWS is nice enough, though in retrospect I would not have chosen to attend here. I like most everything except the academics, which is unfortunate considering this is the quality from which I gauge the school's excellence. Simply put, EWS's culture of academic performance is one of mediocrit...
