Walnut Grove Elementary School

This school is terrible noncimmunication. No wonder it has only 3 stars and shouldn't have that many . I couldn't wait to get my daughter out this school it wasn't challenging enough either . My daughter now goes to barrington in hazelwood and loves it and is thriving .

The best school I have been to In a long time

My oldest attended ASA from age 4 until age 10. It was/is an amazing school. She tested several grades ahead of her current grade in several subjects. I loved the emphasis on academics, character building, and developing the kids into future leaders. Kids are encouraged to advocate for themselves, and teachers are trained to listen and respect that. You will not find another school in St. Louis as academically challenging yet child focused as ASA.

Not a school I would send my child to. I enrolled my child in the preschool class for the 2023 - 2024 school year. Sad to say it only lasted 2.5 months. The teacher was very strict for the students to be 3 and 4 year old. There is not enough supervision for the student to teacher ratio. They ask for your child to be potty trained, but complain on how often they request to go to the restroom. My child was bullied by the teacher and before I withdrew my child from the school, I was told that my child was mute (please note: my child speaks very well, to be 3). It was reported, and nothing was done. When reported the principal at the time was the one that stated, "she's being bullied." Although this school is diverse, the pre-k teacher needs diversity training, as all of the students she did pick on were African American. I would highly suggest that any parent looking into this school, looks else where for the sake of your child's well being.
