I'm extremely happy with this school and all my child has learned as a result of being here. With the small school setting and even smaller class sizes, there is a better opportunity for my child to get the individual attention she may need. The classes are capped at max of 20 students but to my knowledge
... Read more they have only reached the maximum in two of the 8 classes they have. I currently have two daughters that attend here and they both love it. The staff is more like a family and I am on a first name basis and very familiar with all the faculty. Due to the school being located in a remote area, big city school problems with image, clique's, and other various problems are virtually non exsistant. The focus of this school is acedemics and the student. Hands down a spectatular choice for all parents!! Read less

I have had my 4 children up at Barona for 5 years now. Needless to say, if I wasn't satisfied I woul not make the trip up the hill. If you want a low-key, personalized environment, and want to maintain some innocence for your children then consider sending them here. I have never been dis-satisfied with
... Read more the teachers or any other staff. I am an involved parent, as parents should be, in staying connected with the teachers. The teacher-student ratio is small. Generally 20 or less in every class. You don't have the big campus issues you would have at a regular mainstream school. Barona does have activities for the children. Field trips, parties, after-school sports thru the rec center if you want. If you aren't entirely focused on all the 'fun' stuff and more concerned about your childs academics, then you will be satisfied. Read less

This year the organization seems to be lacking. Promises made to higher classes as far as trips have not been followed through, resulting in disappointment from students. Proper notification to parents of up coming events etc. has greatly lacked. Certain teacher seems to be teaching very half heartedly.

I am dissapointed in the quality of this school. This school lacks an important resource, parent involvement. There are also many parents with valid concerns regarding the 'special' treatment of tribal children. Their handbook is a joke as they themselves do not abide by the rules. The morning care care
... Read more is only free to the tribal children, all others pay. the afernoon care is free for all however. There is a high turn over of caretakers for the program. Personalized curriculum does not exist. For being such a small school, they are having a difficult time maintaining quality academics. Read less
