Great school. Should have moved my children here years ago. Walters school is the only school in Cotton county that actively teach students throughout the year.

Don't let the mediocre facilities deceive you. Walters has one of the highest ratios of National Board Certified teachers in the state. Great school.

Walters is a great school. The children are challenged in academics and given opportunities after school to participate in many activities. My children took a cooking, archery, and photography classes. The teachers are caring professionals and the children are well protected. My two children love Walters.
