Barton Elementary

It used to be a great school and the teachers reflected that. After the CDD and change in admin the school stopped caring about families and kids real needs. Since 2020 the staff that have left continue to reflect the administrations lack of love for the kids and families they are meant to support

Our son was in Kindergarten at this school before we moved back to the east coast and he was so happy and made great strides here. I think the test scores are skewed due to the school being spanish immersion-- when our son entered Kindergarten in Washington DC his teachers were surprised to learn that he could read fluently in spanish, read some in English, write well in spanish, and wrong ok in English. Basically, if these tests were in spanish this school would probably look AMAZING. Now our son has the gift of being totally bilingual. On an interpersonal level, he LOVED every day at the school, loved his teachers, and enjoyed his fun, gently, exciting classroom. I can't say enough good things about Green. Our son was also in the before-school program and WOW. How do these educator keep up this level of warmth and caring for the kids every single day.

My child learned so much every day and I truly recommend Stonebridge World School to anyone.

Our son has been at Lake Country School for the past 2.5 years, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with his experience. He has grown in remarkable ways—building deep friendships, gaining invaluable life skills, and developing a genuine love of learning. The educators and support staff at LCS have been extraordinary, nurturing his growth with care and intention at every step.Beyond the classroom, we’ve discovered a truly special community through family events, both in the city and at the breathtaking Land School. The Land School itself is an incredible gift—offering students hands-on opportunities to work on a farm, connect with the origins of their food, and experience the rhythms of rural life. It’s an inspiring extension of the LCS philosophy and one of the many reasons we feel so grateful to be part of this community.
