What is a reasonable age for a child to walk home from school?

The school is only 3 blocks away from home.

i started walking to school at 10. in the morning i walked alone but i walked home with friends. it depends what kind of neighborhood you live in. i lived in a neighborhood who i knew who everyone was. you should decide if your neighborhood is save enough

12 min if with a couple of friends.

It's so ridiculous that we even have to ask these kind of questions but that's the world we live in today. I'd say 9 or 10 - maybe you could find a neighbor whose child can walk with yours.
