"Fast paced school, excellent teachers, great parent support, all around good school! The students are prepared for the state assessment just like they will have to prep for their college entrance exams. It is part of the process."

"I have to agree with the other reviews. I have been very disappointed in the education my son is receiving. I was told that the purpose of the school is to perform well on the TAKS test or now STAAR. My son's teacher has successfully made him feel stupid and now he begs me to change his school. The principle's respond was the same that they are preparing the children to take the test. Now after seeing the same worksheets come home everyday I have had enough and searching for a school that will teach my child not train him to take a test so that it makes the school look good. If you are looking for an education for your child this is not the place. If you are looking for a good score on a standardized test go ahead."

"Please remember that the ratings mentioned only have to do with TAKS test scores. If parents feel comfortable that this is an acceptable indicator of a good school, then your child will do well here. Our daughter's 5th grade teacher would raise her voice almost to the point of yelling and tell the children that they better pay attention if they wanted to pass the TAKS test. We were able to meet with the teacher to address this issue, but her response was that children simply need to learn to step-up and perform because performance is required for success in life. Our child's experience was not all bad at WSE, but we are grateful to have that experience behind us and to have her in a more appropriate educational environment for 6th grade."

"Walker station is a great school. However we had a slightly sour experience with my son's 2nd grade teacher over his low grades on a class project that he had worked very hard for. He lost marks on presentation as he was too nervous to talk loudly, clearly and demonstrate his extensive knowledge on the topic. He got no positive reinforcement whatsoever for the project, making him rather upset and further lowering his self-confidence. We as parents, found the grading extremely unfair and harsh. Although we are trying to let go of the matter since 2nd grade marks prove nothing and surely not representative of student success in academic and professional avenues. However, if something like this happens again, I'm afraid I'll have to encroach on the matter further to ensure my kid's sense of self."
