Walton is a good school, a great school, even. The classes are very difficult but they definitely prepare you for college. Once you pass sophomore year, there’s a lot more flexibility with your classes, which is nice. Often, the administration is willing to work with you on your schedule, parking, and grades. Most of the teachers there genuinely want you to succeed. The fine arts programs are also amazing!
Walton High School is known for their academic accomplishments, excellent teachers, and great athletic programs. The atmosphere in this high school is overall good, but everyone is competitive and academic excellence is imperative. The work load is monstrous and on level classes here are like honors in other schools. Also, this school is in a prominent area and it is not uncommon to see Teslas and BMWS in the school's parking lot. A positive about this school is we have WEB Wednesdays, which means we get out a few hours early and are able to either go home or go to class to make up assignments/ study with teachers. This Wednesday program is amazing and we get to learn key skills like time management. Overall great school, but highly competitive and big work load.
In terms of preparing someone for the difficulties of college, there is no high school quite like Walton. With extremely qualified teachers and a wide network of fellow students willing to help and collaborate, success at Walton is attainable. Often characterized as a difficult school, Walton has cultivated a culture of excellence which many students strive to achieve. Walton is a great school for challenging students and preparing them for college and eventually the real world, sometimes the stress can be somewhat overwhelming but that is true of life.
