Walland Elementary School

This building is dilapidated and badly in need of replacement, after changing my child from city school system to County I see why I was advised on the many downfalls of county versus city in East Tennessee. The staff seems okay, but the criteria is extremely weak. My child can keep up with the next grade level and is taking naps, as if it were a daycare facility. I am disappointed and wonder when this school will be replaced. Although, keep in mind, that my child is only in kindergarten, so I am just learning the ins and outs. But, in my opinion, the county should review criteria as well as the condition of its facilities.

My son is in the third grade and we love Walland School. We have had nothing but great experiences for the past 4 years. I have 2 daughters that will be starting school there next year and I am very excited that they will be able to go to such a great school also. My son loves going to school and I think that speaks for its self.
