Walter Jackson Elementary School

Posted October 8, 2009

Walter Jackson is a great school by any standard. I have moved several times and have only been completely satisfied with this school. The academics are very strong as is the communication with the parents.

We moved here 6 years ago and my children went all the way through elementary school at Walter Jackson. We love this school, the teachers, the staff and principal! It is a well kept secret here in town, but it has been the best thing for my kids and for us. We love it and are sad that we won't be there anymore as our youngest has just completed his last year. It is a wonderful, enriching place for all children!

This is the best kept secret in Decatur. We have lived in school districts lauded as the best in the nation and still have friends there. I would put my 3rd grader's education up against any of them! The kids have recess AND PE every day. The school system addresses the needs of gifted children, not just with a magnet school, but within each school as well. The level of parent involvement is exceptional. WJES also has a fairly diverse student population, a plus in my book. The administration is the finest I've encountered, the teachers amazing and the overall experience wonderful. I echo the sentiments of the post below: we won't move it means leaving Walter Jackson!

We have a 1st grader at Walter Jackson and will have another child entering K-5 next year. We love this school. The teachers and faculty are wonderful.
