Coach Shajaira bad, bad in bus area. I wonder how she works inside the school. Barrel springs is a good school. When i see coaches who make the same mistake is not good at all.Something need to change.

This school is very good. I really can't understand the parents that complain. Instead they should get involved with the school and the PTA. The school is very good and Coach Lucia is amazing. The teachers are dedicated and they care.

Despite our State's economic downturn, The administration, teachers and staff continue to provide the best for our kids. I'm so proud that my children come to this school. I feel confident that my children are getting the best quality education.

My kids had to transfer to Barrel Springs because their school closed. The Principal, Secretary and staff are very helpful and friendly. I was active in my kids' previous PTA and met the PTA President. She was very friendly and well informed about the school. I am very excited to be at this school.

My children have been going to Barrel Springs for 5 years and I love this school. This last year has been the best with the new principal . She is great. I love all the teachers and coaches. The secretary is always helpful . The PTA is awesome, they do so much for the school and students . If it wasn't for them we would have alot of things like field trips, book fair, family fun nights, etc... So if any one has not heard Palmdale school district schools will not be able to go on any field trips next year. That came from the superintendent. :(

Mrs. Collins, a second grade teacher, is great. I wish she would move to thrid grade next year. She's firm with the class but still has fun with them. Her teaching style is great! I would highly recommend her.

I loved this school. Yes the principal is tough but look at how well the kids behaved. Look at how well the school did on the state tests. All of the teachers we had were great! Oddo,vanantwerp, Bosch, Prince, especially Baldridge! She was the best! They have a great GATE program. The teachers gave their time for Cyberquest and chess club and all of the other after school activities. I have had 3 kids go through this school, but have moved. After being at the new school for a week I wish we could go back to Barrel Springs!

I think this school is overall a good school. Its new so nice class rooms and play area. My son attended Kindergarden and now will be going to 1st. The classrooms were a little overcrowded but isnt every school? The teachers were great and my son loved going every day! Looking forward to a great year!

This is a great school. The principal keeps everyone in line. She is strict, but fair. The school concentrates mostly on math and language arts. This could be an even greater school if they would allow more time for science and social studies.

In 2011-2012 California used the California Standards Tests (CSTs) to test students in English language arts in grades 2 through 11; math in grades 2 through 7; science in grades 5, 8 and 10; and history-social science in grades 8 and 11. Middle and high school students also took subject-specific CSTs in math and science, depending on the course in which they were enrolled. The CSTs are standards-based tests, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of California. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the tests.
The different student groups are identified by the California Department of Education; if there are fewer than 10 students in a particular group in a school, the state doesn't report data for that group.
