My experience at Waldron overall was good. It had good and bad things to it. What I loved was that it is a small community and you know everybody. A small town everybody knows everybody and that's always nice because you can really go to anyone for something. As far as a school it was nice becasue the teachers new you by heart, and you got that one on one time sometimes. Which comes to the bad part coming from a small school you would think you would get alot of one on one time, but unfortunately that didn't really happen.

I would chose this school if I didn't know anything about it because it's small and you get one on one attention from the teacher. They are always willing to help!

Many students at the school...

This school, the teachers, and administration don't seem to care about education. Bullying is a problem and they're drastically underfunded.

Waldron is a typical small school. 40 kids a grade. It isn't an awful school if you play basketball. The athletic director is also the basketball coach and be a total dbag. I guess that's everywhere though. He picks favorite. The staff is nice but they don't really make you learn. You can just coast...
