I am so impressed with the school and its leadership! i am so proud of the quality of the education my children display here at home. I love everything about the school such as......security,secretaries,teachers,and parent involment is encouraged. I just wish the parking lot situation will just get better :/
I am a parent with an all 'A' student that attends Walton. I also have a child that performs 'C' average that attends here as well. My problem with the school is that they seem to focus very well on the excellent students but the ones the that are not so great that performs average gets lost in the storm. Therefore I am pulling my 'C' student from the school while letting my all A student remain....so unfair
This is a great school!!!Why are you still using the ratings from 2007 to judge this school. The principal has changed, the teachers have changed, more parent involvement, better teacher quality!! The whole school has changed, yet it's being judged by some parents that had their kids there in 2007. It's not fair to the children, the parents, the teachers or the school. This is an excellent school!!!
I love this school! My children have been there 6 years. Mr Brillhart is an amazing principal. The worst part of the school is the parking lot in the afternoon. I wish they went thru high school!
Ever since Mr. Brillhart arrived at this school according to my children it has been a better place and alot of fun. The staff always find ways to make learning interesting. Security is more than adequate. I would like to see more performing arts classes such as a band, choir etc. especially for middle school, and also more use of computers to keep up with technology.
I would say this school is a 4 out of 5 stars!! the principal is great, the teachers really care about the students. The faculty run a tight ship in terms of security. This is almost like a boarding school in terms of training the children, academics as well as behaviorial. Its a good school!
I love this school!!My son has been going there since K and Iam very happy with the new principal and teachers..They really care about your child in everyway!!And they are great on keeping us informed about our children in weekly reports!!Keep up the good work!!!
I am very pleased with Walton! This is only our first year at the school and I will continue to keep my child enrolled there. Everyone from the Priciple, teachers, and staff all seem to care tremendously for the students and keep the parents informed. I have seen alot of parent participation and it is greatly welcomed.
I was a student of Walton from 1st to 6th grade, although I'd be more than delighted to give a review. I personally this school is one of the best, if not the best school in Michigan that is neither pulic or private. I left to a public school in 7th grade, and compared to Walton it was a living nightmare. The teachers didn't care, the students were inconsiderate, and the staff was overall rather idiotic in terms of how they organized their school. Yes, we have more extracurricular activities in this public school, and it is unfortunate that Walton only proceeds to the 8th grade, but I would recommend enrolling your children in Walton Charter Academy, take it from a first-hand experience. My mom does regret enrolling me in this current school, and wish I'd stayed in Walton until I graduated 8th grade.
this school is a very nice school,have very good meap scores, i fact my daughter goes there.
