Clara barton open school

The progressive education model used at Barton is fantastic. This concept means so many positive things for our kids and the school community - my favorite part of progressive education and responsive classroom model is the emphasis on the WHOLE child and the empowerment of student. Social responsibility, development of ethical citizens alongside high academic achievement standards are also what Barton means to our family. My daughter is immensely happy at Barton. Our teachers and Diane the principal and the entire administration do an amazing job truly being present for our students. This leads to a community of kiddos likewise truly showing up to learn and support one another.

Great school overall good teachers. They do have a bullying problem that needs to be addressed. A gap in education about bullying. Kids need to learn about it. Very important. I want to be able to send my child to school he can feel safe at.

I have had three kids at Barton, and we love it. The teachers are awesome, and the open program really works. I love that it is a K-8 school, and the 7th and 8th graders get matched up with 1st and 2nd grade "little buddies." Great school culture.

Second time this year already that the staff has not bothered to clear the sidewalks for over 3 days after a significant snowstorm. This is not only a civic responsibility but a legal obligation. Shame on you.

This is a great school with a fantastic staff and community around it. We've had our kids there for ten years.

I've been working in the after school program for a few months. The students are ambitious and well informed and the administration is competent, attentive, and all around good to work for.

good school I guess. We need a better sex education and some better students that don't try to purposely trip me in the hall but other than that it's okay.

Great school! Our daughter is in kindergarten, and she gets up all excited to go to school despite the early start time!

one of the best experience I have ever had. And the teachers are the best I have ever had [and still are] !
