Walker Middle School

walker was an amazing school to attend. i left last year befor they changed into an IB school. the library has thousands, among thousands of interesting books. i dont like to read but somehow the librarian, mrs.LaBarbera got me to read some interesting books. the teachers work with your skill levels and make sure that you are understanding what they are lecturing on. our administration was the most< down-to-earth, caring people and are very easy to work with. when i was attending walker i was proud to be a wolf and always was greatful for everything that they help me with. lastly, our volleyball team was amazing and thanks to them, they helped me accomplish make my high school team. with a 2nd place district win under my flag i was thrilled to go on and live my dream of volleyball. goood luck choosing a school for your child, but i would highly reccomend WALKER MIDDLE SCHOOL :] go wolves

Unfortunately, this school and IB program did not meet my expectations too. My child is an honor student and the demand of work the teachers give is apalling!!! Massive amount of homework and weekend projects constantly. It's not ideal if your child is involved in after-school sports. The school also needs major renovations and upgrades. If considering, make sure you look into how many students transferred or opted out of the program.

Though this school has now become IB (International Baccalaureate), it has not met my expectations. Williams IB, another middle school that is experienced at IB, is supposed to resemble this school. According to the IB website, IB was created so that students could go from school to school without a change in curriculum. Walker is extremely poor compared to Williams, and I wish they would improve the quality of their school.

this is an awesome school i like the organization and children of help

My son attended Walker in 6th grade, and is returning this year for 7th. We are very pleased with Walker, last year was the first time my son made straight 'A's (even in his advanced classes) --- all while playing sports and being a memeber of the Walker band. We look forward to another great year.

My child is a student at walker middle school. He is attending 8th grade this school year coming up. I am sure this is not the norm of the school but last year we had some terrible teachers! My son entered walker as a advanced student in advanced classes and my son is a child that loves to learn. This past school year that all changed and we struggled getting him to focus and enjoy school. after many parent/teacher conferences nothing seemed to change. I am praying for a better school year this year coming up with teachers who are motivated and have the patience,encourgement and dedication to teach. I know other parents who had problems with these teachers as well and their kids were advanced & great students! what a shame! Keeping my fingers crossed for a better school year 2007-2008!

I had three children all attend Walker Middle School. We had children in the school for six consecutive years. I am so happy with the school, they push each child to their fullest ability offering help where needed. My three children entered High School in Honors or Advanced classes. The youngest of my three entered Walker an average student and left Walker an advanced student. The staff is supportive in both academics and athletics. Each child is given the opportunity and the encouragement to be the best they can be. The parent faculty communication is excellent. I do not know any families from Walker that have any complaints.
