5.0 Senior

2/28/2025

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.

I like Big Walnut High School because of the community surrounding the school. The people who live in Sunbury are super supportive of school events and extracurriculars. As an athlete on the lacrosse team, I would like to see changes in access to the new turf field. If athletes want to put in extra practice toward their sport, they need facilities to practice in/on.

Horrible. The administration is a disgrace and full of selfish individuals who only care about a paycheck.

I love Big Walnut High School. We are a military family and have moved all over the place, but have found BWHS to be one of the best schools we've encountered. The teachers and the staff are top notch. Also, the way the school is run allows me peace of mind for my child's safety. I know she's receiv...
