Walnut Hills High School

Walnut Hills gives the best preparation for college and is a public school. It is diverse and I am a proud alum.

Walnut Hills is an excellent school if your child is a 7th-grade entrant and is selected for the Honors Program for the 8th (and 9th grades) by GPA, which segregates the top 25% from the rest of the student body academically for virtually the rest of their time at the school. The extra weighting that your child gets from taking 'weighted' Honors-level courses in the 9th grade confers a class-rank advantage that is impossible for those not chosen (the bottom 75%) to overcome. Walnut Hills is an unparalleled experience for the top 25%; a merely above-average experience for the rest of the rank-and-file. All of the honors and choice college offers come to those 25% chosen in the 8th grade for the Honors experience. My D attended Walnut and loved every minute of her years there. She was an Honors Program graduate.

An alum and a parent of a current student. There is no better school to prepare young people for college and life in general. A well-diversified student population in a school that is still run by the faculty. An alumni base that will answer the call for any need - textbooks, athletic equipment, musical instruments, additional instructors, etc. There is none better.

(I am an alumna.) As noted in previous comments, Walnut is a rigorous academic institution with a culture that values hard work. I am glad to have attended a school where these values were integral, and where students valued each other for their strong intellects.
