This is our third year at Walker in the Lower School. We know our kid is cared for and surrounded in a loving environment where she is thriving academically and emotionally.

It's still early in the year but so far we are very pleased with Walker's Pre-K program. The school has exceeded our expectations.

The Walker School has been a fantastic experience for our family. The academics and faculty are top notch and we couldn't be happier. Athletics has been a cause for concern in the past but it has been refreshing to see the school make strides in this area over the past year. We would like to see the school continue this pattern going forward. The New Avenues program has been life-changing and I would recommend the program to anyone who is considering a specialized program for a child with Dyslexia.

Depends on your type of kid. My older daughters were very self sufficient and never questioned authority. My son was successful in 2,3 and 5th grades. 4th was awful. Walker failed to recommend my son for other schools. There staff is fleeing. Significant amount of antisemitism they they hide.

The Walker School in Marietta, Georgia was the worst educational experience our family has ever endured. It’s an extremely cliquish environment that fails to recognize and nurture the majority of students’ talents. We transferred out after two years to a much better school with significantly better...
