The best high school experience I could have had! I am so lucky to be a Walker's alum. I was more prepared for college than the rest of the incoming freshman class. Walker's has also provided me with abundant connections in terms of career development.

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.

Can't tell you I loved it, but don't regret the time I spent here. I made amazing friends and I think it has a friendly and diverse community although being incredibly cliquey. I would say if you're the type of person that likes to not get involved as much and stay behind the scenes this school probably isn't for you. It's a bubble. Definitely felt trapped there at times and being trapped in such a small campus is not a great feeling... even as a day student. The teachers are definitely hit or miss, some are the best I've ever had and others don't even know the subject they are teaching. Yes this school is very flawed and there were times when I was incredibly close to leaving but I can't say I regret holding it out all the way to the end. A running joke is that the school is a mess but it's our mess.

This is a school that is on its way up. Beautiful campus, ambitious academic program, loads of skilled teachers, deeply committed to social justice and equality, diverse students and teachers. A wonderful place to teach and to learn.

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...
