Augusta Lewis Troup School

Our experience is pre k3-K. We have had a wonderful experience at Barnard. Our teachers have been incredibly dedicated, caring, and supportive. The “specials” teachers are also excellent (who teach pre k-8th), particularly in the subjects the school specializes in (science and tech). We are also excited about some new hires in the art, music, and physical education departments. The school is clean and the gardens are beautiful. The current administration is clearly making a real effort to improve the school and it shows. I can’t speak to the middle school, but so far we have been very happy with Barnard.

“Our family is so grateful to be a part of John C. Daniels! The staff and teachers go above and beyond to create a nurturing, inclusive, and inspiring environment where children truly thrive. My son absolutely loves going to school every day and has made incredible progress both academically and socially. The communication between teachers and parents is excellent, and the sense of community is unmatched. I can’t recommend John C Daniels enough to any parent looking for a place where their child will feel supported and valued. It’s truly an amazing school!”

I've been at this school for 10+ years and these 10+ years have been the hardest years of my life just bc of how the school has treated me and how I was treated by students and staff which plays a huge part in my depression and anxiety. They don't truly care for the students until it gets noticeably bad and will let your grades and mental deteriorate without saying a word, they only mention grades when they're so bad and don't understand the circumstances or the reason you've let it get so bad. So for any parent reading, please save your kids the heartache of attending this school, if you want them to enjoy even an inkling of going to school don't make the decision of bringing them here.
