Walnut Elementary School: Academic Excellence for All in a Safe, Enriching Environment
-
We Meet Students’ Academic Needs & Passions
All of our students participate in focused, small group instruction each day during Target Time. Additional credentialed teachers work with our classroom teachers to ensure each student receives a "just right" fit—whether that’s extra support, grade-level practice, or academic enrichment.
Small class sizes ensure all students receive the support they need to achieve academic success:
- In grades K-3 our average class size is 21 to 1
- Six additional credentialed teachers support student academic intervention and enrichment
- English Language Development
- Kindness Certified School 2018
- GATE (Gifted and Talented Education)
- Character Development for all students
- After-School Tutoring available with Walnut teachers
- On-site child care is available to students from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. (based on availability)
