I love this school. My daughter began in 1st grade, and she had the most amazing teacher, In 2nd grade she had another amazing and wonderful teacher. The principal there is great she listens to your concerns, and she pretty much has an open door policy when it comes to the welfare of our children. I think that we as parents will continue to see positive things to come from this school. I feel that all of the parents should really get involved in their child's education and not depend on the school to raise and entirely educate your child like you should. So to rate this school below a 9 or 10 is not really a fair assessment. The parents should take just as much responsibility as the school staff.

Barton has always had a bad rep and I don't know why. Perhaps the people who talk about Barton don't know that we have good teachers and a good principal. Even though the office staff can be rude at times, they still try to get your questions answered. As a parent I suggest that everyone work together to make Barton have a good name instead of complaining about stuff. I like Barton and my kids like it too.

My child has now been going to this school a little over 2 years now and I won't bad mouth the school but it does needs changes in every area, I have ran into problems in which Teachers/Aids do not know how to handle many outspoken children. It seems to be ignored... I look forward when I can finally move and change schools. I could just imagine how this school was before if people say it's better now!

Barton is a school that has been improving.Yes we still have many areas that need to be worked on, but you cant expect a school to compleatly transform in 1 or 2 years.I really think that barton is a school with great potential I personally Know & have seen the way the teachers teach and care for the children. the problem is the parents complain more than try to better the school.Both of my children attended Barton and have done great.
