I’m not sure how often this website is updated but my daughter has done very well at this school, she’s improved so much despite going through a pandemic she did not fall too far behind, caught up, and now exceeding her grade level. She’s made tons of friends and the environment seems to be pretty h

Posted by a parent on 8/24/2020The school has improved so much since my daughter started there in the Apple program ( which they no longer have ) the staff are very good and work hard on making sure each and every student is successful in the future I'll be very sad when my kids leave this year due to us moving
Posted by a parent on 12/15/2014John Barry Elementary school is a beautiful school with a caring staff. My children love their teachers and their principal. The guidance counselor is wonderful as is the new secretary that was recently hired. I look forward to more events from the school. Since the new principal came on board there
Posted by a parent on 7/25/2014This school has to be the worst school I've ever seen. My children previously attended a school in another town and will be at John Barry until the end of the year. Most children in this school are misbehaved (probably due to parents not disciplining them). The teachers have to be a little harder be

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI've had my child here since Kindergarten (she's going to 2nd grade now) and I honestly have nothing but good things to say about this school, it's teachers and also office staff which have been outstanding with my child (last teacher was Mrs.Vermeal..incredible teacher and very patient plus understanding with my short attention-spanned, sensitive and hyper-active daughter). Definitely a top notch school with lots of attention geared at each individual child. Again excellent principal also, always greeted me openly and welcoming each and every morning just as he did to every parent that would walk by him. 100/100 in my book.Parent Review11y ago - Hanover School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe rating placed on this school does not do justice to the professionalism of the staff or the care my son receives. Your Child will progress well here and be well equipped for middle school. I would rate this school overall 9 out of 10 objectively.Parent Review6y ago - Roger Sherman School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI would give this school the lowest rating possible. By allowing your children to go here juat shows that your do not care about the best interest of your child . The bullying is at an all time high at this school everyday my son was coming home with bumps and bruises and none of it was being done about it it got so bad that my sons teeth were broken by another student in bathroom because of lack of supervison. They need to get rid of the whole school all together because by allowing your kid to attend this school you put your child at risk of bullying and staff can care less which is truly truly unfortunate because no kid deserves to constantly be hurt and parents not notified. I was warned about this school and i still let me child attend and that is something i have to live with so whoever reads this i strongly strongly urge you to not let your child attend this school because its a major safety concern and the staff can care less which is unfortunateParent Review6y ago - Our Lady Of Mount Carmel School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI love the small sized classrooms at St Joseph School because they give the children the individual attention they need. The families are all very nice and welcoming and help make this school special. Rounding out the education with religion and instilling core values and morale's into the children is just one of many reasons we decided to send our children here. There is no place I'd rather have my children get their education than at St Joseph school!Parent Review12y ago - Montessori Children's House
