This is the worse school year for Walker jones 2021-2022. I don't know what is in the water ,but this school is not the same within the previous years of my children attending there. I mean the teacher turnover is the worse and i never seen that before. Its to the point where a teacher come and then in the next month they are gone. Every-time I turn around a teacher is leaving because they can't control the children there or they just can't deal with how the staff is being treated with limited resources. There been fights after fights left to right with the children and people coming up to the school to jump them or fights in the bathrooms. No resources for the children or anything or any after school activities activities( Art Club,Chess Club,Beyond The Bell). Granted they have Saturday School, but what children come to that? And of course a basketball team but thats every school. But what about those who want another outlet? I do give credit to the teachers who are there for the children and trying their best to come together for the children, but they can't do it all alone. I really miss the old days of Walker Jones. It was more parent and teacher involvement. They use to have Girls On The Run,Girl Scouts and even a School Garden that is now overgrown and just sitting there. The children in there are going crazy because they are bored with no resources at all and no one not even the principle is doing anything. I don't know if the budget is low because enrollment or what. But they need to fix it before they lose more children and shutdown for good. I just know my children will no longer being attending. Which is sad they been there since Headstart and this is the lowest this school ever been.

This school needs a complete reboot with their administration. There is a clear disconnect with communication between staff members. The majority of the administration at this schools lacks not only direction, communication but professionalism. It also seems as though a good portion of the staff are substitute teachers because they are unable to maintain regular staff from the start of the school year and yet administration remains astonished as to why teachers have walked out in the middle of the class. There are little to no repercussion taken towards students that are disrespectful, or disruptive. If your looking to make a difference through education and need of assistance from anyone this is not the school for you. I applaud the teachers that were able to remain until the end of school year. They are truly dedicated to their students and their progress.

We are a military family that just moved to the DC area and I have had such a great experience with Walker Jones. I was very impressed by the professionalism among the staff and their enthusiasm that they have for education. I defiantly would give this school a look, if you are considering one!
