I love this school because it has so many great teachers and they all teach great. Each student who goes there will have a great education and learn new thing every single day.
Posted by a student on 3/7/2022I truly enjoyed this school overall, until the current administration took over. In talking to other parents, this school was not created to be the current model, but a place to foster creativity. I'm very disappointed in how things have turned out. The only aspect of this school that makes it worth
Posted by a parent on 2/20/2019I love this school and hope to find another school in the lower 48 that is comparable!
Posted by a parent on 1/31/2019For the first few years, I was Barnette's biggest cheerleader. Because of the changes that have occurred under the last two administrators, I have pulled my child from the school in favor of a neighborhood school. I wish that Barnette could live up to its history and its reputation. I see nothing mo
Posted by a parent on 8/23/2018We love this school! The teachers, class sizes, and K-8 set up, and exploration set up that allows kids to choose to learn in multi age groups designed around their chosen interests ignites a love for learning and for collaboration. We felt so lucky to have gotten "in" with the lottery - and for us,

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageSome kinder teachers teach children to write using the denealian font. But all the other paperwork they get, work on, view, uses the normal basic font. Then when those students move on to 1st grade, those teachers mark points off, for not utilizing the correct font. It's hard on parents, because we taught our kids to write using the basic font that is in all the workbooks online and in books stores. Now our kids tell us, "that's not the right way!" Does anyone else see a problem with this??Parent Review8y ago - Denali Elementary School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageEveryone knows this is the absolute worst school in the district. My child has fallen behind so much it makes me sick. Calling this school a daycare would be a compliment. My student has been terrorized and physically assaulted almost every single day. This school is literally a fight club. Whenever I try to talk to staff about my child being body slammed I am told the kids here have problems it’s the Southside. They don’t care about children here. Clock in clock out. I wish someone would investigate this school it’s disgustingParent Review1y ago - Alternative Learning Systems

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAs a student, it was the worst possible school. The teachers didn't teach. When I backed for help they said "Look in your book". The teachers did not have our best interests in mind. The lunches had no nutritional value. It was severely underfunded. Other students agreed with this statement.Student Review4y ago - Hamilton Acres Baptist School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI looked all over town for a school that I could afford and that would be more than just a day care center for my 4 year old. I wanted her to really learn something. Hamilton Acres was a great choice and one we are making again this year. Our daughter learned very quickly and the the low student to teacher ratios really helped. It provided her with a more comfortable family type atmosphere. She can't wait for her school to start!Parent Review12y ago
