The 7th grade year was OK but the 8th grade year was the worst ever! The principal yelled at my mom! and it was so unorganized only one teacher was the best Mr.kilcrease! But overall this was the worst school i ever had!

my friend went there and she loved it!!!! :) She said it was the best school ever!

i disagree with the first review. you have to teach your kids to make the right choices as to whom they should be with or not as friends. All schools have students that have bad influence on others. Usually children who become easily influenced have a need or want to belong to something or someone and not be of themselves, usually they dont feel good about themselves and this is bad attention. So you cant say its just Walters. I have had 4 children 1 attended and others were in private school through this time and the 1 who attended Walters has had no problems. What I dont like is the teachers only call when child is in trouble not when school work has become a problem.!!!

So this is my second/last year at Walters and what I have experienced .... I wouldn't recommend letting your own kids going here. The teachers aren't that bad, but it's the students. Why would you want to surround your kids with bad influence. Sorry Walters, but that's the truth. Now, there are some good students, but there's about a 80% chance, that they will be hanging out with the bad kids.

This is an amazing school! Although, the teachers aren't so great.I'm currently a sevie at Walters. They have great food and people. I love this school so much. (:

Im a student that goes to Walters. This is my second year at Walters. Although i have been not so good in school the teachers never gave up. This is year has been hard because i am going throuh a lot of problems. Mrs. Dana (Vice Priciple) helped me and listened to what was going on. Although i was not a huge fan of one of the counslers.. I really am enjoying my 2 years here. Im the class of 09

This school is the best kept secret in Fremont, the Principal and Vice Principal are the best, the kids are very well mixed cultural/academics and the teachers for the most part are great. They have an excellent special needs program. I have had two children and my third is just starting and they have all thrived at Walters

My kid just started this year so I am looking forward to hear from earlier students and parents. I liked their Academy that they have for a week. That was a great way to introduce the students.

I am a former student of Walters and I feel that WJHS is a great school. The teachers werre caring and helpful and very eager to help us, students. I learned a lot from all of my teachers, even though I did not get along with all of them. I found that the school was very safe and secure, although many people underestimate the school. I had the best of times at this school and I made a lot of lifelong friends. The rules at WJHS are very easy to understand and the consequences for rule-breaking is very secure. I feel that this is probably the best junior high school any kid can attend to because the kids there are friendly and nice and the shcool curriculum is very nice. The teachers there try to challenge us.

Walters is underestimated just because of recent gang activities and the students that go there. Walters actually is a really good school. I go to another school now, and i hate it. I still feel like a Walter Warrior. I wish i could come back.

All in all, the school is disorganize, but hopefully with a permanent principal, things will look up for future students.

This is my first experience with Walters Junior High and I have been very pleased with the school. I attended Back to School Night and found my son's teachers to be knowledgeable about their subject matter and very organized. They all appear to care about the students. The principal was open and enthusiastic about the upcoming year. She is new to the school and has wonderful ideas about what a junior high should be. She spoke to the students about behavior and my son said it was positive and fun. I think we will have a great experience at Walters.

Very disappointing administrative, teacher, parent involvement. Teachers have little or no control of classroom. Racism seems to be tolerated by administration. Extremely low test scores. Very disappointing!

My son was an attendant to Walters 06', He was transferred from another Jr. High school, and He really didnt like it at all, the kids were kids, but I was extremely dissappointed in the Teachers. My Son says that the Teachers didnt care at all about how the students acted or participated.

As a recent former student of Walters (04-06) this is a good school. It's good enough for kids. This school is like any other middle school. They say middle school are the worst years of your life but I know your kid will have fun at this school, unless he's not normal, has high expectations of people, or some other sort of reason, then he will dread the 2 years at this school. But your child will have unforgettable memories at this school, she'll even cry at the 8th grade promotion, or the last day of school, even if she didn't like all the teachers.

We were new to the area when my son attended Walters. He got off to a rockie start but the former Principal and the current vice principal never gave up on him. Tell gave chances they communicated with me and he graduated three days ago from walters with a 3.5 g.p.a and he was on the honor roll. I am very grateful to the vice principal who helped my son and I for the past two years. Thanks You Mary Miller (vice principal)
