I'm a former student from Barstow High. I went there for both freshman and sophomore year. Now, the teachers at BHS are actually great people they do everything in the hands to send us students and prepare us for college. Always a positive attitude and all the are always willing to help whether on the class or during after school. Now, I feel with the people in the office should do their job better along with librarians heads up these librarians are rude and petty women I would suggest to stay honestly never try to talk to them unless it's an emergency like a book check but anything else just listen to them and everything should be fine but yeah I would suggest getting better people in the office and indeed better librarians. Now, on looks it's not the best it's very old but mostly everything works but one thing stay away from the water fountains and make sure to bring you're own water bottle. Now with students mostly everything good but honestly most will treat like you're invisible if for some reason you ain't popular but for new students there always up to meet them and make new friends with them but make sure you know who you're hanging with because kids aren't the best some are involved in gangs or do drugs in the bathrooms. Also one the school is very safe the monitors and teachers are always on point with behavior and fights that go on here. So, in summary it's not a bad school when it comes to education but just remember it's fairly small so we don't have many classes. Through, we do have many clubs and sports and many you make a lot of friends in them so I would suggest joining some. Also, this school offers trips so keep an eye on them. So, once again it's not a bad school but it could be better such as new administration, food, water, and better control of the school but if you other choices to go to or can move out the town I'd rather move quickly and if it ain't going well for your kid don't lose hope try out the other schools in the area such as Excelsior Charter, Riverside Prep, or Silver Valley High. Also, stay away from Central High!!

Go absolutely anywhere else. Worst school in town.

My daughter and son are both currently attending Montara and they love it. Mr. Acedo is a very involved and caring principal. The kindergarten team at Montara is awesome. They are constantly going the extra mile to ensure that our children are happy and enjoying learning. Mrs. Blake is so wonderful that I wish my son had attended her class. My daughter is in her class and she has learned sign language and comes home every day excited about learning. I couldn't be happier with the teachers we have had. The only thing lacking is funding for students to attend field trips and other events. I hope this changes one day for our children's sake.
