Big Walnut gave me many opportunities for preparing for my future like, career centers, fairs, clubs, athletics, and simply academics allowing me to reach many academic achievements such as magna cum laude, honors diploma, and many seals required by Ohio law.

Horrible bullying problem. Half of my friends have been bullied and reported to school and they did nothing. Very racist kids in the school who inflict it on other kids at BW or other schools. A lot of mean people who act nice but aren't. Education was okay. I think some teachers there deserve way better than what they get paid. Never had a negative experience with one. Sports is really good. I have only been on my team for a few years but have made incredible memories and became a better athlete and person.

Welcoming environment with many amazing teachers. It does have its faults, the class rooms have thin glass windows facing the hallways and sports are prioritized way more than the arts. But still a great school.

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...
