Lisa Schweizer: My son is now in the 7th grade at Walsh Intermediate. It is an open classroom policy with only partitions separating the classrooms. I love the school, my son has flourished and always gets good grades. The 5th and 6th graders are separated from the 7th and 8th graders, he has never had any problems with the older kids and that makes me happy:)
