Welcome to Walnut Grove Elementary

The school was established in 1990 for the purpose of preparing our children to be independent and responsible adults. To fulfill this mission, our community will aim for the highest standards of individualized achievement. It was designed to serve students from kindergarten through fifth grade. Our school's program emphasizes the acquisition of fundamental skills using an aligned curriculum that provides a solid foundation for life-long learning. Walnut Grove currently has 28 classrooms for Kindergarten through fifth grade and three Special Ed Preschool. We have a fulltime music teacher, one media specialist, one fulltime and a half physical education teachers, a school counselor, one art teacher, one part time world language teacher, one part time gifted ed consultant, and two resource teachers. Walnut Grove currently has a 27-station Dell computer lab. Each classroom has three/five networked workstations.

The faculty of Walnut Grove Elementary School made a joint decision to become a site-based school in the spring of 1997. The Effective Schools model is for the stakeholders to participate in decision making at the building level. Each faculty and staff member, as well as parents had the opportunity to become a member of a correlate team. There are currently seven correlate teams. The grade level chairperson of each grade level, a representative from the special education classes and a representative from the special programs teacher comprise the BLT. This structure provides the faculty with a communication tool as well as opportunities for decision making.

Walnut Grove Elementary School is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. It serves about 712 students in grades Pre-Kindergarten through Fifth. We are very fortunate to be able to maintain an excellent pupil/teacher ratio.
