I have had numerous children through this school. It seems to be the school where all fun and excitement go to die. The majority of teachers seem to hate what they do and that is made very clear to the kids. Everyday. In addition, they have a science teacher who spouts anti science and political rhetoric on a regular basis and has been for years. This county is not big on funding education and it shows. Very few of the "good" teachers stay. It's a sad place and I feel bad sending my kid there all day every day.

The staff is discriminative towards students with diffrent ethnic backrounds or even if they moved from a place that is not like theres they have done unlawfully searches and suspended innocent people just because.

My child was bullied for a week and the teachers were aware. I was never notified that this was happening until my child was involved in an altercation with the student that was bullying my child. Then my child was suspended for 10 days. Yeah, really solved that bullying problem...thanks SCW!

These poor students even get 0's for not participating in class. Look out parents if you have a shy/quiet child.

Received reports from teachers at the school that my child was "sneaky" and refused to complete his homework (which was done everyday). My child was suspended for something that he didn't take part in and I was told verbally and written forms that my child would have the opportunity to make up missed work. Tried to pick up my child's class work and NOTHING was prepared and my child still to this day hasn't had the opportunity to complete missed work

Due to the school's constant intimidation and accusations against my child, my child now hates school. And this was a child with college dreams.

The principal and resource officer feel it's okay to interrogate underage children without parent's knowledge or permission. They feel it's okay to use their titles/authority to intimidate the students

Every child outside of special education and honors are taught on the same learning path. Every child has different ways of learning skills and course lessons, but the staff either are not properly trained or just don't care.

I have become to dislike SCW during the time that my children have been enrolled. I'm definitely seeking other options for school for my child. If you're the "right ethnicity" or the "right religion" then yes your child may have a wonderful experience there. My experience has just not been that case. They do discriminate and feel they can "do as they please" when it comes to your children. They don't even follow their own handbook when it comes to occurrences at the school.

St. Clare Walker is a great place for students and staff. The faculty and staff truly work towards doing whatever it takes for each student to be successful. The work toward educating the "whole child" by offering club and enrichment activities daily.
