I am very happy with the school where my son studies. The school truly motivates him to learn, and whenever he asks for support, the staff is always there to help. If any incident occurs, it is addressed very quickly and handled seriously, which gives me great confidence as a parent.
The teachers are very attentive and make an effort to approach each student individually to help resolve any difficulties. I am sharing this based on what I personally see in how my son is treated, and I truly appreciate the care, support, and dedication shown by the school and its staff.

Eh, it was okay. Fairly clean. Barely any bullying. 90% of funding went to the football team. Good AP program. Ocassional pathetic attempts at school spirit. Clubs are a joke.

This School Is One of The best that I've ever attended! There's just a great atmosphere. The administration does a great job at keeping things running well. All The teachers that i have encountered are great. There is a large FFA community within the school, but that in no way hinders the quality of the education. The students are really friendly, They really welcomed me when i first moved to this school. There are also a loooooong list of activities and clubs at Walkersville. In my opinion, we have one of the best Theater Programs in the State! The Sports Program is also very top notch! If you are a senior/junior preparing for college, the school does a great job of supporting you and helping you with the process! Overall, Walkersville is a great choice if you are looking for an excellent High School.

If there was an option to give a school zero stars I would do so. There are cockroaches and mice everywhere, dead and alive. This school is the epitome of the social class system from Mean Girls: If you're new to this school, you are socially screwed. The teachers are extremely hypocritical and do not teach, with very few exceptions. The sports suck, the people suck, and the school smells like manure 80% of the time. Don't go to this school if you want to keep your soul and self-respect.
