(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - We were at a different school and we open enrolled into this school. I drive my kids 20 min. each way to go to this school and we have one within walking distance in our neighborhood. That is how much we love Walnut Hills! It is a great school that does not just teach to the average student and it has a great sense of community!
