Barnett Junior High School

This is an AMAZING school!! We transferred our kids here from Arlington ISD and have never been happier about a decision. The staff (from administration, teachers, and support staff) have all been so kind, helpful, and caring. And they do it all with a joy and enthusiasm that makes my kids excited to attend school. Plus, they have embedded Character education into their curriculum (even gotten National recognition for it). On top of that, they are one of the few elementary schools that have an AVID program! But wait! There's more! They also have a dual language program! I can't say enough great things about this GREAT SCHOOL. We LOVE CAPA!!P.S.- comments about the removal of a teacher a few years ago are inaccurate. The campus had nothing to do with the removal. It was the district.

Nice and respectful and nice people and not too far

This school has really turned around. There was some stagnation during the COVID years and there has been some rough patches but the new principal has freshed up the place. New faces, new smiles, new STARR scores (up and up). Even some new events. I'm excited for these next few years.

Mary Moore is a wonderful school! We are so happy to be apart of the Moore Family!

We moved to the area last year from out of state. My husband grew up less than a mile from the school so it was a no brained. The administrative staff is exceptionally helpful and always kind. We started our son in the summer camp so he could begin to make friends and become familiar with his new school while in a more casual setting. It was a great experience. He can be high energy, because of this he can also be disruptive. His teacher was attentive, patient, and solution oriented to help our guy find the best path to gain focus and express his energy in a positive manner. We worked together well to guide him to be the best student and person he could/can be. The curriculum, creative activities, and faith base teachings are what we expected. We are pleased that he’s learning a second language, cursive, and offered the opportunity for extracurricular classes like piano. Tuition fee and uniform costs are affordable and fair. We love that our guy is not just a number in a large student population. When our guy is walking the halls or participating in after school events/athletic games, students and teachers alike know him/us by name. It makes him feel great and apart of a great community. We look forward to another year at St. Paul’s after a second great experience at their summer camp. Our kiddo can’t wait (how many can say that?!) to start class next week.
