Ysabel Barnett Elementary School

The staff at Ysabel Barnett are great. We moved here in January and our daughter was very behind in curriculum. After just a few months she has jumped 3 reading levels and is up to speed with the rest of the class. We are extremely happy with BES and plan on our daughter attending the rest of elementary here. If you are planning to move to the area, I highly recommend it. We love it here.

This is our first year at BES and we are extremely pleased with our child's teacher, the Principal Mr. Dixon, and all the administration and staff. They are all very aware of what is happening in all levels of the school, they work very well together and the academics and activities are excellent. If you are contemplating moving your child here/attending here, I say don't hesitate. Unfortunately the government has mandated that all student be taught to pass tests, but this school does that well and still focuses on the child rather than a test score. I think some of the not-as positive comments on here, earning BES a 4/5 stars, are from prior administrations. The current administration of the school is fantastic.

Barnett Elementary is an amazing school with amazing teachers. My daughter went to another school for kindergarten and was so far behind. We came to Barnett and she has grown so much i couldnt be happier with this school.

Everyone from the office staff, the administrators, the teachers and especially the PTO are all great. Everyone pitches in to make Ysabel Barnett a great place for our kids to learn, have fun and make friends. My son loves it and so do we!
