Its mascot has changed from time to time. From "Butterfly and the Bog Beast" to "The Tales Glaciers Tell", Walkerville was the home of the Bog Beast Butterflies. Since "Ralphie Strikes a Nerve", its mascot has changed to the Warthogs.

Parking lot

The place where the school's most recognizable vehicle, the Bus, is parked. Most of the time, it is parked in the same spot, but otherwise, in Wet All Over, it is parked near the awning.

Room 101

The primary setting in the school. This class has eight (19 in the book series) students: Dorothy Ann, Wanda, Arnold, Ralphie, Jyoti, Carlos, Keesha, and Tim. Phoebe attended this class until her fourth-grade year, when she moved back to her old school in fifth grade. It includes a closet, a cage for the class pet Liz, an aquarium, and a hamster cage.

Mr. Ruhle's office

This is the principal's office, where he and his secretary work. It is where the kids learned about the fact that Mr. Ruhle lost his chicken, Giblets. His computer, an Eniac Maniac 2000, from "Gets Programmed" is located here.

Cafeteria

The cafeteria is present in "In the Arctic" and "Makes a Rainbow", and at the end of The Magic School Bus: At the Waterworks.

Gymnasium/auditorium

Also doubling as an auditorium, this is the place where the kids take PE and where school plays, events like Smell Search, and the like are held. The kids put on their Jack and the Beanstalk play and Flower Power musical here, and Walkerville PS Variety Show auditions were held on the stage.

Makes a Stink, Gains Weight, and The Magnetic Mambo primarily take place here.

Library

The library is shown in The Magic School Bus: At the Waterworks, The Magic School Bus and the Electric Field Trip, and "Makes a Rainbow".

Classes

• Ms. Fiona Frizzle and Ms. Valerie Frizzle's class (every book and episode)
• Mr. Cud's class (Gets Ants in Its Pants)
• Ms. Rivers' class (Goes on Air)
• Kindergarten class from Janet's Mystery Gene
• Janet's class (Makes a Stink, Ralphie Strikes a Nerve)

Trivia

• It is a K-8 grade school, based on the fact that Tiffany is in seventh grade. (TMSB: At the Waterworks)
• All the staff are named after their traits and features. For example, the Frizzles are named for their hair, Mr. Ruhle is named for the fact that he "rules the school", and Mr. McLean is the janitor (he keeps the school clean).
• It's seen in almost every episode of the saga and in almost every book.
• The school is located in the eastern United States (In the Zone).
  • It is likely or implied that Walkerville Elementary resides in Rhode Island:
    • Mr. Ruhle owns a Rhode-Island Red chicken named Giblets, which also happens to be the state bird.
    • Rhode Island is in close proximity to the Atlantic Ocean and has over 400 miles of coastline, which lines up perfectly with just about every ocean field trip.
• In The Magic School Bus and episodes prior to "The Battle for Rock Mountain", it is named for Craig Walker, the man who inspired Joanna Cole and Bruce Degen to write The Magic School Bus: At the Waterworks (1986).
