Walker Middle consistently performs well on the Forward Exam, with high proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Science across all grade levels. The school also excels in serving specific student subgroups, often outperforming the state averages for female students, Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. However, the school has seen an increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 10.2% in 2023-2024 to 19.5% in 2022-2023, which is a concern that the school and district should address.
