I moved to Big Walnut my Junior year and wouldn't change that for anything. The faculty, staff, and students were extremely welcoming and made the move very easy. Wouldn't want to go to any other high school.

Overall Big walnut was a very positive experience throughout high school. Teachers are particularly attentive and often it is very apparent that they care about their students and want to make meaningful connections with them. There is a great sense of community as well within the school and school district as a whole. The sports are a big deal and most students find themselves attending sporting events often throughout high school. The new building is very nice and contains great accommodations for students.
