Gretna elementary school is the worst school I have ever seen. I homeschool all 5 of my kids because the school are so bad. The teachers there don’t want to teach and they are very mean to kids. They won’t respect your kids. They do nothing to help them learn. My son was in 4th grade and could t read. I took him out of school and now he can read. If you want your kids to have healthy learning, don’t send them to Gretna elementary school in Gretna va.

"Beautiful area. High end homes going cheap. Southern part of lake very clean, cleaner than northern part. Very low crime area but remote. 25 minutes to a Wal-mart. "
