Joe Walker Middle School

Good but not the best. Students and adults are equally disrespectful towardseach other and I believe that is something thatmust change.

Excellent, we had a few hiccups along the way but nothing is perfect, as soon as you can understand that, the better.

Teachers 10 out of 10. Principal 0 out of 10. The principal’s stance is that there is no real need to communicate with the parents. It is 100% up to the student to relay all information and school news to the home. Also, the principal shows no support for student activities. So if you are looking for great teachers who prep students for high school and are okay with a principal who has no engagement to his students and families than this school is great.

Our son is a very high-functioning autistic child with a 3.0+ GPA. The teachers at this school are awesome and overall the students are great; however, there is a bad element at the school, and they run unchecked and out-of-control. Our son was subjected to emotional bullying, and nothing was done about it. He was pushed down and suffered a severely sprained knee...we asked for help and were basically told there was nothing they could do about it. We are fortunate because our son told us all that was going on, but I am pretty sure there are Special Needs students there that are being bullied and ignored and their parents have no idea. We took our son out and placed him in another school, and he immediately blossomed and his attitude and behavior did a 180-degree turn...it was astonishing. This used to be a really great school, but the leadership is weak and impotent, and the leadership has no regard for kids that can't fend for themselves.
