I feel so lucky that my kids are attending Walker Elementary. This school is the top performing school in the district and once you observe what happens in this school you will see why. From the personalized learning plans to wonder workshop where kids can learn about things they are passionate about to enrichment programs like the Walker Chorus, art and gym there is so much to keep the kids and families engaged. They have a wonderful PTA that was able to fundraise enough money to buy 3 different pieces of playground equipment. That is just amazing. My family loves this school!

Walker Elementary is the WAWM District's little gem of a school! The student success rate is amazing - as shown by the "Significantly Exceeds Expectations" grade on the 2015-2016 DPI Report Card. The NxGL classrooms are flexible, fun environments that promote learner confidence, personalization, and student voice. The teachers and staff at Walker go above and beyond and really make the school a family environment. Superior school!

Wow! Walker Elementary continues to hit the ever improving mark, and have their eyes on the future!! Walker is a truly unique school, and shows what can happen when teachers, students, parents, and administration come together. Our daughter and son are both Next Generation Learners - taught critical thinking, group dynamics, technology, and goal management. We are truly lucky to be a part of such an amazing school, and our children wake up excited to go to school! Thank you to everyone who makes this possible - keep up the great work and your continued commitment to the success of the future leaders!

I have two boys that are in third grade and k5 and have attended since k4. The teachers are outstanding. I truly am impressed at their dedication and ingenuity. The classroom atmosphere allows the kids freedom of movement which eliminates boredom. It also allows the teachers to deal with the tiny percentage of morons that shouldn't be there in the first place with minor disruption to the rest of the class. (Yeah I said it. Undisciplined brats whose parents spend more time admiring and comparing their tattoos than parenting their children) The staff are trying new teaching techniques and technologies and getting results. School officials from around the world visit the school constantly to see just what really is going on there. The teachers for specials, music gym and art are well accomplished and inventive. I'm jealous when I hear of what they got to do for specials that day. My boys are proud of themselves and proud of their school. I just wish more of the parents felt the same way, instead of complaining that their children are not delivered to them like a pizza after release. Get off your lazy butt and go hug your kids, you haven't seen them all day! Ah West Allis
