The school is old, but has been updated in areas. Technology is high, the library is average, and the physical education program is nationally recognized. There is no student discipline in or outside of the classroom. The administration is a combination of an inept principle and a new assistant principal ( former counselor) who is in over her head.

My son is in full-day kindergarten at Babler, and I couldn't be more pleased. His teacher goes the extra mile to meet the individual needs of the students, while still challenging them to be their best. My son has participated in various afterschool activity programs, both educational and entertaining, and he looks forward to going to school every day. I'm a very satisfied parent.

No wonder the test scores are getting lower. The children get absolute no homework. Have lived in other states, and this is the most laid back attitude I have ever exsperienced. The kids need to be pushed harder. No wonder there are so many private schools here around St Louis.

The teachers are nice enough. 4th grade took a beating in Math in 2010 but still above the state average. Technology is strong in the classrooms, the library is run well. Principal leadership is weak. Parent involvement is always welcome The Character Education program isn't working. The P.E. program is state of the art. The curriculum is well written. Teacher in-service is strong. Another year for a new assistant principal, it's time for a new principal.

Great teachers, great PTO, horrible Principal! The school has good technology for students. The counselor is fantastic. The building is old but updated.

I'm disappointed at how the student discipline at Babler has declined over that past two years for our child. The teachers have no ability to enforce discipline, the halls are noisy when classes are moving to specials and the entire "School of Character" program is a running joke. The school board needs to investigate this zoo!

Parent involvement is the strong point of Babler. The administration is dishonest with parents and when things get tough, disloyal to the staff.

We recently moved to Wildwood. We moved to our home because of the schools. We are new to Babler. However, the principal has not been at school most of the year. We are not sure who is running the show. Our child thinks the assistant principal is the principal. He is a very nice man and is doing the best he can but even he is new to the building like we are.
