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 believe that Barton is a school with great potential, but we need to understand that it takes a team. That team should consist of the students, the parents, and the teachers.
