Gretna No. 2 Academy For Advanced Studies

I have three children at this school. This year (2014-15) I am very disappointed with the new staff and principle . So far this year, a lot of parents have noticed the lack of organization and the snooty attitudes. I think the school has been ran better and hope to see a change in the future as our children deserve it!

En general tengo una perseccion muy diferente de la escuela con los últimos comentarios que dejaron en años anteriores ya que los maestros están con contacto con los padres interesados en saber como se desarrollan sus hijos y siempre enfocados en ser ese apoyo en la escuela cuando mi hija renia una duda ella siempre le preguntaba a su maestra de grado y si había un rendimiento bajo siempre me comunicaron para juntas ser una mayor apoyo para que superará y mejorará

This school was the most challenging educational environment I have encountered in my career. The school suffers from a severe lack of care and understanding from the administrative staff, which undermines the support teachers need to succeed. Additionally, there is a significant disengagement among approximately half of the student body, with many students showing no regard for their education, future success, or respect for the efforts of their teachers. Despite educators' dedication to creating meaningful lessons, the lack of motivation and accountability among students severely impacts the learning environment. If given the authority, I would advocate for a complete overhaul of the school to address these systemic issues and create a more effective and supportive educational institution.

My child has been a student at WSNO since 2017, and I am very pleased with the education that has been received thus far. Waldorf education is different from the traditional American-style curriculum, but is nonetheless, overall very effective. My child LOVES school and often tells me she wishes the day was longer. Academics are strong and the teachers are dedicated to their students and their work. They are also thoughtful and easy to communicate with if there is an issue. My child also loves and thrives with the integration of movement, the outdoors, and the arts into every academic subject. At WSNO, I feel that my child is becoming an inquisitive, life-long learner, which is, above all, what I hope for in education.Do note that WSNO is not necessarily well equipped to handle the needs of exceptional learners / those with learning differences.

A waste of time and money!!!! That’s if you have to pay full tuition. If you qualify for vouchers hey try and see.

My child attended Salem for years and loved it. Unfortunately, the non-responsive principal, back then, to my concerns was why I removed my child from the school. Even though my child was very upset, I had to do what I had to do. The school as a whole is still loved by me and always will be. They will make it as they have many people who care about the school, but mostely the children. Go Blue Knights! I do not know the new principal but I have seen her credentials and believe she will be a great leader.
