C. Paul Barnhart Elementary School

My daughter has been going to Barnhart since the first grade, she will be going to middle school next year. All her teachers were good, but her 5th grade teacher, Mrs. E.R. Johnson was great. Mrs. Johnson really cares for the children in her classroom. My daugher, Asia loves to learn and has enjoyed the time she has spent in the class. Mrs. Johnson gives children one on one attention when they did it, she not only cares about what happens good in the classroom but also gives advise that will make your child a better human being. If more parents get involved with thier children in the classroom and for the school, and more teachers were like Mrs. Johnson the school rate would go from 5 to at least a 10. - YH

I don't care what anyone say about my favorite school it was fun and also made me very smart. After I left that school i read at an 8th grade level. My math skills also had me at an 8th grade level. Thanks to Barnhart I'm in 3 John Hopkins programs. Overall best elementary school I ever went to and I went to 4 elementary schools

My 6 year-old has developed a love of reading that she did not have at the beginning of the school year and I think that her teacher is a great contributor to this fact along with my husband and I. I love the emphasis the school puts on reading and the programs they have to ensure that no child will be lacking at the end of the school year. For that I would like to thank them.

Not to thrilled here, this is my child's first year here in 5th grade and I am glad that it is his last. This is an average school that at times feel borderline to below average. Everything seems basic, with really no critical thinking for the child. My child comes home frequently saying he's bored. When there are science programs after school there is poor organization, never starts on time, and the presentations are to me below standard. If you are looking for basic teaching/schooling, then this school is it. The Principal/Teachers are good, but they don't push the kids enough.

It would be wonderful to have more parents be involved. I can't count how many times I went to an event on education given by the school or Title 1 were there were I was the only parent from Barnhart. Even when they have give dinner and have child care for younger children. It's just sad. If there were as many people at educational events as there were in the parking lot when the kids went to Baltimore. Our school would be rated a ten. (yh)

This is a great school! Both my kids go here one in the third grade and the other in the 3's program. There teachers are excellent and they really care about my children. I get updates about my childrens progress and they are learning alot here. If I were to move I would still want my kids to attend this school!

This year both of my children started attending Barnhart Elementary. One is in Kindergarten and the other is in 3rd. I belive that their teachers are extraordinary. They go the extra mile to make sure kids understand their lessons before they move on. If my son's third grade teacher notices a child is lacking in a particular area she will send home suggestions for the parents on how we can help them as well as asking for permission to enroll them in special tutoring program that the school hosts. My daughter's kindergarten teacher sends her home with so much enthusiasm to learn that she even wants to practice her words, numbers and patterns on the weekend. I highly reccommend Barnhart and I do not do that lightly, my kids previously attended a military base school. So let's just say Barnhart measures up!
