Walker High School Reviews
Rating 3.66 out of 5 187 reviews
I have been at Walker High for two years now. Throughout my stay, I have been presented with countless opportunities that I do not believe I ever would have been given had I been to another school. The guidance and staff are very understanding when it comes to individual circumstances, and teachers are continually willing to help students whatever their goals may be. Being part of the student government association, I have spoken to other schools and groups of school board representatives to speak about my school, and each time I realize more and more how wonderfully incredible this school is. With 16+ available AP courses, DE classes, CLEP test options, and technical courses such as welding and carpentry, there are so many pathways available for students to take.
I started Walker high in 10th grade and I was immersed in many opportunities when I came to Walker High.I am taking classes that will give me college credits Such as Ap psych and dual enrollment English. I also took classes that can get me jobs going out of highschool such as being an EMR and a PCT. I'm in SGA and found SGA inspiring because of the new skills I was introduced to including being a leader, communication skills, being able to make good decisions and not being afraid to delegate to others. One of the most significant changes I have discovered about myself is that I will do great things because of all the opportunities Walker high has. The school counselors and principal are always changing the lives of students which has inspired me to do more for others.
I know that WHS has and will continue to make me grow as a young woman and student. My future is now limitless thanks to walker high.

Walker High School is an amazing school with many different opportunities and lots of diversity. With my time being here I have done many AP classes and Dual Enrollment Classes, each of which have broadened both my intelligence and my perspective on many topics. The only issue with these opportunities is some people won’t have the resources to be able to do said classes. Also the school does have a slight issue with behavior in some students, but that’s not to blame the school; this is something seen in the real world. Over all the school has been extremely nice.
