Without a doubt one of the worst school districts on the face of the planet. If you're related to the small group that runs things, your child is set. Otherwise, your child will be treated as a second class citizen, and stuck in a class taught by one of the many lousy teachers they have who should have retired eons ago. Pay no attention to the test scores. This school is 90% little rich white kids who are going to do well on standardized tests regardless of what school they attend, and Wall students actually perform worse on those tests than students at similar schools.

Love how they involve the parents into everything. Suprised to see that they leraned braille & sign language. My child was hurting at the beginning of the year. The teacher called and gave me tips and sent me extra items to go over with my child & checked up regularly to let me know how my child had improved. By the end of the year he had improved dramatically. The school spirit is great, it shows how to celebrate and empower each other as a community.

We bought our house because it was in the Wall district and we were very hopeful for our child to attend Wall because we have heard nothing but great things. Our child has attended another public school in Texas, before, so we have something to compare to when we say that Wall leaves much to be desired when it comes to academics. They pride themselves on their athletics and their physical appearances when it comes to that "Wall Hawk Pride", but our child has not advanced at all academically in the 7 months he's been here and voicing your concern over the lack of reading and authentic, engaging hands-on activities in the classroom only puts your child under the teachers radar. The classroom size is very small compared to most in the state of Texas (17 students per teacher, with an assistant), yet they still call for parent volunteers to come do what the teacher should be doing, herself (reading to the students). Maybe this is one of those schools where the academics pick up in the 5th-8th grades, but after reading the high school news paper, especially an article written by the senior editor, we are guessing not, and we would rather not send our child here next year.
