Walker Mill Middle School

I agree with the parent stating that the staff should be more professional. Phone calls and emails are never returned. I seem to get attitude no matter how polite I am or what I am requesting. Im still waiting on a call from the principal regarding issues with my son. Its been over a month now. And Ive called 3 times. embarrassing.

I am attending Walker Mill Middle School 2010-2011 will be my last year this is a really good school. We do alot here. You have many extra caricular activitys to participate in. The staff are very helpful and want you to succeed , at some schools they dont care if you learn or not they just want the money every two weeks. But here they really care and they will make sure they do everything they can so you graduate and get your diploma. From;ME THE JOURNALIST

My son graduated from Walker Mill Middle school 2009 and our experience with the Staff and Teachers was outstanding what a great and committed team. I highly recommend the AVID program. My son and I will miss Walker Mill...but we must continue our journey...into high school!

I entered Walker Mill as a 7th grader in 2008 and I had a good year. The teachers are great an I got a 3.0 and higher grade point average for all quarters. No school is perfect, we had little fights, and 1 food fight. I would say they professional security guards and not ones who play around with kids. The school is organizand there's at least 20 students in the classroom with helpers.

I do not recommend any parent to send their child to this school. The school lacks disipline and some of the staffers at this school are very rude and unprofessional. For the most part, I do not believe the above first two comments listed are fairly accurate for overview of the school. I think this school mainly focuses on entertaining the children instead of the academics and structure building. I would like to also reiterate one will get along with the staff very well just as long as the individual does not become a problem with the child teacher. I would also like to emphasize that the staff needs managerial and public relations training when dealing with parents.

Walker Mill is a great school! The principal, vice principal and staff are very supportive of their students and they truly care about each and every one of them. At the sporting events you'll see either one or both and several teachers. I love how they enforce respect and discipline at all times. I recommend Walker Mill if you really want your child to 'learn all the right things'.

As a parent that had a great of apprehension based on the below comments regarding allowing my child to attend Walker Mill's TAG program, I am very impressed by the administration and qualified teachers that have the children's best interest at heart. Back to school night was very organized and informative. The PTA and parent liason team together to ensure that parents are heard and the focus remains on the overall success of the children.

Whether a child is categorized as being TAG or Comprehensive, a parent should give it considerate thought if they are contemplating sending a child to this school. Two years of learning should not go down the drain.

If you love your child you won't let them go here. TAG is a joke. There are some great kids here, but the administration and teachers are a joke. Come visit during lunch if you want to see some pure insanity and ineptitude...

Walker Mill Middle School is not a bad school as some people say it is. The TAG program offers a very valuable academic program. I was in the TAG program and at first I was reluctant about going because of the bad things I had heard. But once I got over there, I said it wasn't as bad as people made it out to be. About parent involvement, I know for a fact that they have PTSA meetings but not sure on how many parents actually attend. My friends Mother and Uncle are in charge of this. I can also say that there are not as many behavior problems or food fights as people say there were. The teacher's in the TAG program are great and I really like the school. Walker Mill isn't the best school to send your child to but it isn't as bad as people say it
