We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I have always gone to Walnut Ridge so it is my home and I will miss it dearly when I leave. The high school counciler is the best. She is very very invloved in the student's academic lives. I would be extrememly confused in dealing with colleges if it wasn't for her.

For the most part, it's been a good experience. Excellent math, social studies and history instruction. Excellent English instruction in 10th-12th grades.
