I love it and recommend to every parent searching for a school for their kids to go to ignore the bad ratings this is the purest one ! #classof2016

For the positives of this school, one of the best things I did was choir. Choir was amazing, it got…read moreme really experienced with finding true genuine people. Some of the only genuine people in the schools were in clubs. Fun people, with personalities. Most of my friends were in choir, and overall it was a wonderful time. A fun teacher as well, and an enjoying experience to walk into everyday. It made the school experience fun, and it made me feel at home knowing I was part of a family. The cafeteria food was absolutely amazing! Literally so good for school food, it was also nice being able to sit outside. Used to sit outside with my buddies and listen to music. My favorite food was the orange chicken! Stadium events, football games, anything club related was always enjoyable. Definitely recommend, the school has very fun activities as well. The main issue with all schools is a balance between drama/friends and education. I don't think a single school doesn't have issues with drama and fights. For this school though, it seemed to have been much worse. Fights and a lot of smoking going on all the time. Their was maybe one student in a class that distracted everyone that was there to learn. Sometimes more...school threats also happened a few times a year. Nothing bad ever happened but still, troubled teenagers are ruthless sometimes and it was an issue. For staff, I never had any issues with any of the staff there. I knew a lot of them, since my sister went to Barry as well. Our experiences are similar, it's not great and it's not bad, it's simply okay. If you do have a young teenager or any teenager going there, beware of the issues with drugs, and drama. Motivate them into a club and, help them find something their passionate in. School is for learning, not fighting and drama!! It's very important to also get troubled kids to talk with the school counselors. They helped a lot, and they supported me through the rough battles of my teenage years. Their is support! :)

Excellent staff otherwise, I suppose that person was just the rotten apple of the bunch.

This school use to be a great school. I attended this elementary school and never had any issues…read moreuntil my children attended here. I did not have any issues while my son attended k-4th; however, once he entered 5th grade everything went downhill! Bullying is a major issue at this school. My son was continuously bullied and nothing was done until my son took matters into his own hands. He had to start protecting himself and fight back. He was literally drop kicked onto his tail bone. The student was at school the very next day with no consequences. Other incidents occurred with other students when finally my son had enough and fought back. I was contacted that he hit a student with his binder in the head after the other student knocked items out of his hand and attempted to steal his book that he purchased from the book fair. Also, while this was going on with my son, my daughter entered kinder here! She was repeatedly punched on a daily basis from the same student. Paula, the principal, tried to tell me the majority of the children do not know how to interact with other children and in a classroom setting. I understand that; however, this happened on a daily basis and nothing was done to the student. I was also told that my daughter, in kinder at this time, was falling behind. My daughter was reading before she even started at this school! Thankfully I was able to move her to another school where she is succeeding now and was tested for gifted classes. Now, what does this say about the teachers here? The moment I move my child and she is succeeding! Her reading level is three grade levels above her grade level. I highly recommend looking into an alternative school if possible. I was lucky enough to be able to move my children.
