This is coming from the perspective of a parent of a student at this school, as well as a teacher in a different school.School leadership and staff are struggling to keep control of student behavior this year (1st year back from distance learning). We all know that students' behaviors this year are challenging across the board - at all age levels - but McCarty does not seem to be managing well. There are frequent physical violence encounters, frequent theft among students, frequent vandalism of school and student property, and frequent classroom disruptions. Students of color are often subjected to racial harassment (from other students, not from staff). Teacher morale seems to be very low. Simple standards for behavior that could curb a lot of misbehaviors are not being enforced.On the positive side, it seems that teachers are attempting to keep up academic rigor. Relationships between teachers and students seem to be positive overall.

Very, VERY, good experience. I absolutely loved Barlow. I graduated with a 3.8 gpa.I was in journalism and wrote many, many articles.I miss Barlow! I love Sam Barlow High school!

They allow bulling and false accusations and the principal is horrible
