Barcelona Middle School

I visited this place on take your parent to school day I was appaulled over the lack of control of the students, sub par education, and lack of student saftey. A kid cursed out a girl in front of a teacher and she didnt reprimand the student nor console the victim of the harassment. Luckily my daughter only started 4 months ago and is going to high school next year and wont have to deal with a school I wouldnt even send a dog to.

Inthis school you can do whatever you want, and almost nothing will happen. It's pretty great.

i have a 4 year old who is currently attending the preschool and i have to say he has show a big improvment in his speech and confidence in learning i really wish that the school wasnt getting cuts. because the teachers there are a big help to my sons learning.

I love Barcelona and I wish that more parents would get involved. The school district is limited in what discipline it can dish out, so parents need to help out the school as well. Students who have extreme cases of disrespect, use of profanity, and fight need to be disciplined at home as well as at school. As a parent I discipline my student, and hope that other parents do their part so my student can learn at school. No one has the right to interfere with learning.

This school was the best school I've ever been to.

Best school that I've ever been to. Acedemics are high and I actually learn something that I didn't learn at other schools. I swiched for one year into the glendale district and I was learning stuff I had already learned the previous year and simply felt that I was held back. When I came back to Barcelona it was hard to catch up and the teachers helped me very well. I am a honors kid and the teachers helped me catch up to where I am today.

After 11 years, it still bothers me to hear negative reports from other parents about Barcelona. My 3 kids have all gone to this school and have done extremely well. The teachers have done a great job of teaching my kids. My oldest graduated high school with honors, my daughter will be graduating next year with honors, and it looks like my youngest son will be following intheir footsteps. I am extremely grateful for Barcelona and its staff. Respect, Self-Esteem, and Discipline is what I have always taught my kids and Barcelona has done the same at school. My youngest son is in his last year now at Barcelona so it will be hard to say goodbye to all of my family...so from my family to yours, Thanks and Love You Always Barcelona. Thank You for teaching my children.

On positive is for the first time, he was praised in art instead of ignored or criticized, as was done in other schools. I'm not sure of parent involvement. Overall, I'd grade this school at a D-.
