There is a decent-sized foyer that comfortably accommodated concessions, raffle display tables, and the end of show meet/greet. ​Inside the theater, every seat gives you a great view. We sat in the back row on the main floor level and had no trouble seeing the entire stage. It's a very clean venue, and the comfortable seats were definitely a plus for a 2.5-hour production! I wasn't cold or hot. Surprisingly the temperature was just right! ​YAT did such a wonderful job! If this is their main venue, we'll definitely be back to support future productions. I 100% recommend following YAT for upcoming show dates!

All the teachers that I have had the pleasure of being acquainted with are highly motivated individuals who care deeply about their students. The Principal is honest, a man with integrity. He is also a military veteran who is strict yet friendly which is a good balance in an environment such as this. The school grounds are well maintained and always appear to be clean of litter or safety hazards. The main auditorium has a nostalgic old school 80's ambiance and also serves as a lunch hall. The only issue that one may encounter is a minor parking lot traffic jam while dropping off and/or picking up their children from school. I would attribute this parking lot issue to the poor planning of inpatient parents who at times seem to be more childish than the students. This school offers a wide verity of after school programs, holiday gatherings and traditional seasonal festivals! I would definitely recommend this fine educational establishment to those in search of an nourishing environment for their children to thrive.

Administration never seemed concerned about that pattern. One of the biggest issues was how a serious threat from another student was handled. They had proof but nothing was done and that student still attends the school. I felt like my side was not properly heard. The pressure and repeated reports became so overwhelming that I eventually felt forced to leave. There were also times staff took my phone without asking and read my messages it made me hate school and not want to go back and It often felt like protecting the school's image mattered more than helping students. I also did not feel supported by counseling and was disappointed in how leadership handled things. I would think carefully before enrolling.

I literally take my child to school every morning at 7:15-7:18AM routinely through the drive through drop off patiently waiting for the gates to open for the solar panel parking. The Principle Regina Serbin rushes out to my truck YELLING "You can't be waiting in this line UNTIL 7:30AM when the gates open because you're blocking my staff from the parking lot" First of all HOW am I blocking the staff when the staffs cars I am blocking have already parked? This would not be a problem if they opened up the solar panel parking earlier for SAFER drop offs into the school. I didn't make a fuss so i said okay sure, what time can I start lining up? She says, "7:30AM when the gates open." Does she want everyone to START getting in line @ 730?! Like school starts 745AM people are gonna be late going to school, and driving through to WORK and cause traffic on the main street road - IT GETS DANGEROUS. i've asked all the traffic stop ladies in the morning when this gate opens up and where I can wait for drop offs, and everyone gives me A DIFFERENT ANSWER. The SECOND she tells me off that I cant park and wait in line to drop my child off, I drive ALL THE WAY AROUND and park on the STREET and then I see MORE people start waiting in the drop off line at 7:20AM, she does NOT say a WORD to them nor make them drive around UNTIL 7:30AM. If this is a problem SHE needs to be outside all morning regulating the traffic. - WHAT IS THE POINT OF HAVING 2 LANES (1 for buses and 1 for driving into the solar panel parking to drop your kids off. IF YOU CANT WAIT IN LINE UNTIL 7:30 ON THE DOT?? Every morning parents use the bus lane to drop their kids off QUICKLY, to avoid the CRAZY exit traffic from this school, they do not stop parents who park on the red curbs for drop offs (ALL OF THIS IS BECAUSE OF THE disfunctional management) OH be careful driving through the solar panel parking lot, your cars suspension will literally EAT every single hole & bump and cause you problems, don't know why this is taking so long to fix, and getting OUT from the solar panel parking is a NIGHTMARE. NO ONE to regulate the flow of traffic, you have parents fighting over getting out and going through the entire dirt field to EXIT the gates. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS FOR OTHER PARENTS. Fortunately this will be my child's last year here at Walker Elementary School.

Very easy coursework, troubled students, uneducated staff, fires their good staff, etc. I think they have good intentions, big dreams and few great teachers, but I will NOT bet my kid's future on it. This school was just starting out when I enrolled my gifted child there for 9th grade. They gave us the impression this school was pushing children to go above and beyond traditional schools - yeah right. My child was hospitalized and they gave her several in-completes for classes like gym that she missed while in the hospital for several months. They were extremely disorganized and had no idea how to handle her situation. Now, over a year later, the situation is the same. Now, this star student that is on the Principal's List and had a 4.0, now has a 2.5 for that year and is still missing credits needed to graduate. I will be enrolling her into a different school. Let's just hope her credits transfer.

I attended this high school for only three years. After the third year, I moved to another charter…read moreschool because this high school was the WORSE and I mean it! There's many teachers and staff members with no teaching credentials or past experience with teaching. I remember there were a couple of teachers who pretty much did not know how to handle situations. One being a young Mathematics teacher who did not know how to handle the class when a fight happened between two classmates. Usually she would just cry and that made me feel bad. I blame the school for accepting her and bringing her to such a bad environment. A year later she was fired because she was not fit to be a teacher. Honestly that's not on her. Another teacher we had was this Chemistry teacher and he didn't teach us much. All we did was do our work on the computers. NO LECTURES and honestly I did not learn a thing. Seriously, please don't bring teachers to a place where they can be easily humiliated and bullied by disrespectful and immature students. Not only that but the principal, Kevin Bradshaw, is the worse. This guy, former drug addict and all, was made principal without even having a teaching credential! That is just disgraceful. Not only that but he was such a narcissist. He dragged about the second chance in life he got after getting free from drugs and would even have us watch his pathetic documentary like 5 times in our Freshman year. Honestly, this guy thinks like he won a Nobel Prize or earned himself something SO BIG out his little "redemption story arc". He also showed poor leadership. Most of the time the guy was never to be seen in campus. At the time the school had two buildings and since I was at the main building, we thought he was at the other one. But it turns out that the Freshman from that building never knew who Bradshaw was. So makes me question where and what the heck this guy did throughout the whole day. But whenever he was around, oh it was a show! He would always yell and scold the students. And whenever somebody opposed what he said, they were immediately shut up by him. From what I've heard, he was also like this when he pulled out somebody to his office. BOTH STUDENTS AND TEACHERS. He would scold them for minutes and he never let others speak. He never listened to their part of the story. To add to this, he would have his admins vulture around the campus. They would enter EVERY classroom EVERYDAY. They would watch the students and whenever a student was caught doing something they shouldn't be doing (ex: eating Cheetos, having a hood on, being on the phone, etc), they would immediately pull out the teacher from their class and have them be scolded by Bradshaw. This is just terrible. Not only that but also, one of the teachers quitted because he just singled out for a student wearing a hoodie. And his class was interrupted because he was taken out to speak with Bradshaw. I also had another teacher who secretly told students how his mental health couldn't handle the harsh and abusive nature of the principal's talks. There's a lot to talk about this school but yeah, this school is the worse and I hope it gets shut down for good. Tired of how people praise this school for what it's not. Also, I have MANY other stories about the school and its cartoony principal and admins.

I absolutely love Frau Claudia & Holt, and despite my multiple requests being denied for my daughter to be in the latter's class, after jumping through all of the other hoops, we put her in the school anyway. Sadly, just after the cutoff date for applications to other charter schools closed, Superintendent David Sciaretta and the Board deviated from their charter, firing Principal Bouterse under suspect circumstances, truly undermining the foundation of the school and damaging relationships with parents, faculty and staff. This single blow has been truly devastating to our community, and has shattered our confidence in Sciaretta and the Board, who seem corrupt, power-hungry and lack transparency and integrity. We have yet to receive a reason for this firing, after 23 years of excellent service by Greta, 12 as Principal. Furthermore, despite parents and faculty showing up en-masse to meetings, airing grievances and raising objections, with hundreds more emailing in, requesting that Superintendent Sciaretta and the Board hold true to their charter and divulge information, all requests unheard or denied. On site, there is consistent physical assault, bullying, teasing, and unhealthy, unsafe, and unnecessary negative interactions that are not being resolved in quality manners. Office staff deny requests for restorative justice, there is no on-site nurse, and many of the teachers lack quality pay or resources to support their needs. Many of whom are paying out of pocket for supplies, with parents also donating to make up the difference. All this while Sciaretta has spent over 300,000$ on advertising and has a ridiculously large salary as well. The administration of Sciaretta and the Board is appalling, injust, disheartening, and disappointing. Many efforts are being made to protest, demand transparency and a return to the schools charter. I will be enrolling my child in a different school next year. It is pathetic and unconscionable to see the downfall of this school, once a heralded, prestigious institution of our community. Do NOT SUPPORT this corrupt administration, demand justice be served!
