Barnard Elementary Comp Math & Science Center

Very well rounded teachers and staff! Amazing principal and assistant principal, who always makes sure that things are in tip top shape.

I grew up in Washington Heights. My years at Mt. Vernon I had excellent Teachers who cared about their students. My 3rd grade teacher is why I currently work for a school district in Illinois.

Overall he loves the school and was mad that he was transferring this year.

The staff makes the school the principal is very rude I think she thinks every parent that she comes across she has to talk to them in a disrespectful manner I kinda glad she declined my son offer letter she let her personal reasons for me come between my son education she does not accept accountability she interrupted me in a conversation which is very rude you are to let the person finish then you respond no she has to talk loud over you to get her point across which is not what I want my child to experience I want my child to understand in order to give respect you have to give it I don’t think many people are complaining about her enough because I’m sure with that type of leadership she has she shouldn’t be in the position again the staff is the reason it’s definitely not her if you deal with difficult parents you don’t take it out on other parents an I felt that’s exactly how she treated me she had WRONG information then when confronted she played victim an my child suffered

This is a really great school. The staff is professional and caring. The facility is impressive and very clean. My grandson has been a student at UECA for 2 years and is performing above grade level. He loves his school and is excited about learning

Don’t send your kids here. The Principal does not care about the quality of education the kids are getting. My daughter’s teacher went on maternity leave, they did not have a teacher in place instead put a unqualified teacher aide in the class. Because this teacher was not qualified, they had 4th grade teacher teaching 3rd math and ELA. Neither the aide or 4th grade teacher have degrees. The 4th grade teacher was constantly rude to parents and posted a inappropriate TikTok video of the students. The work being sent home was all over the place and it was unorganized. Parents complained and nothing was done. My daughter ended the school year not covering all of 3rd grade math components. They took away the music and art teacher, and barely taught religion. When paying tuition….this is not quality of education you want for your child.
