Walnut Creek Elementary School

This school has the worst principal I have ever encountered. She along with the assistant principal are horrible. I am used to a school with an open door policy and these two have completely run this school to the ground. You are not allowed to go to your child s classroom nor walk them to class for any reason. I understand that the children are there to learn how to be independent but I if my child is there I do not want to be shut out. The school does have good teachers but a number of them are leaving at the end of the school year due to poor leadership. Both my children have come home crying on many occasions complaining of how mean the principal and the assistant are to them. I went to the school board to file a complaint but there was no help there they are all affiliates so they cover for one another when you file a complaint. I have never been happier to see the school year come to an end because my children will NOT be returning there. Choose wisely if you are considering this school. I am offering a very honest parent review because I love my children very much and want all other parents to know the truth about this AWFUL school.

We are a military family new to the area. Finding a good school was very important as my son was just starting kindergarten. I am pleased to say we all love Walnut Creek. I like the size of the class and the size of his classroom. Mrs. Fletcher and Mrs. Winkles are great. And, more important, my son likes it and he is learning a great deal.

Walnut Creek is the best in McDonough. My son came to Walnut Creek as a first grader and had been having problems in school since he started in private school at the age of 3 yrs. He was kicked out of private christian school at 4 y/o and had a rough time in another private christian kindergarten. The year started off rough for him due to his behavior, but with the help of his first grade teacher, Ms. Silveri, and the woderful school counselor, Ms. Brown, things smoothed out very well or him. He received numerous academic awars and was nominaed as Reader fo The Year for his first grade calss. My family is very pleased with all of the staff at wWalnuit Creek.

Walnut Creek Elementary is the best elementary school in Henry county as far as I am concerned! My child was in Mrs. Ergle and Mrs. Fletcher's kindergarten class and she learned SO much! I am very proud of my child's accomplishments and look forward to another GREAT year next year.

I did not feel the principal or assistant principal to be very friendly. I felt that the school was very clickish. If the parents did not know you they did not try to know you. I offered my services for several things and was never contacted. I was very happy with the second and fourth grade teachers. The school needs to present itself more friendlier. I was happier with our other school.

This was the opening year for Walnut Creek but so far so good. Of course a few kinks had to be ironed out but that was to be expected. My kindergartener had a rough start but is now ready to start first grade with confidence and enthusiasm.
