We have had a wonderful experience at Barcroft. It has been our experience that small class sizes (in some cases less than 20) and hardworking and motivated teachers and administrators have created a great school culture and learning environment that is inclusive and welcoming and celebrates the diversity of backgrounds of the students. Don’t let the great schools ranking fool you - this is an excellent school.

This school has been on a steady decline, getting worse every year. Every parent we interact with seems to all agree that the school is nothing special. None of the kids we have to our house seem to like the school. The office staff is rude to parents and the principal seems to be there just there for the paycheck since she never interacts with kids. We regret sending our son to TJ.

I loved my time at this school. I graduated in 2015 and I learned so much here. My teachers taught me more than just classes, they prepared me for college and beyond. They were great all-around people and role models. I felt like even when taking AP classes my mental health was still a priority here, and work/ life balance was important. My coaches knew how important sports were to mental and physical health and encouraged us to work thorugh our school challenges on the turf field or on the track etc. Overall, a great school, incredibly diverse, taught me a lot, teachers that care, and a community of warriors.
