Walker Elementary School

This school has been my daughter's for the last 5 years. They've steadily been disorganized, fail to pass pertinent information until the last minute, and have an over zealous principal who changes routines on a whim causing more confusion. Quality of teachers she's had though the years is horrendous, with the teachers year after year telling at students in her classes like they're not paying attention, but in reality the teachers don't know how to ask straight forward questions if the students.

My daughter used to go to preschool at the Jewish Community Center (JCC) in La Jolla which was very expensive, and has a great reputation, then my husband got laid off and we couldn't afford it. I then found out about Walker, where my daughter went to preschool for the remainder of the year. I was very very impressed with her teachers, her learning, even her manners! She had a wonderful loving environment at Walker. I saw no difference in quality between the JCC and what she received at Walker. I was especially impressed with the Principal, he is very involved with the school and the monthly award ceremony for the kids was so organized and well thought out. I plan to continue to enroll her further at Walker for TK.

This school is TERRIBLE! My daughter went to school here and her regular teacher hasn’t came back to summer break since Christmas break. She has had multiple substitutes and the school hasn’t let us know why the teacher has been gone. I had multiple issues before Christmas break. I haven’t seen no progress with her learning at all.

Amazing staff. Lots of great changes happened last year in the administration office and it was all for the better! The new Principal is active and makes himself available as the best he can. Amanda their counselor is helpful and always on the go. My child and I love Walker!
