My children have been attending Barry School for 6 years now and I've been very pleased each year with the teachers and activities provided for the children. Also, the classes are not overcrowded with the average class having about 20 kids. Keep up the good work!

Wow! Barry School has been more than we expected. The staff is wonderful and extremely helpful. It is hard to find a small school atmosphere in a city. You can tell this staff cares and that the parent involvement is there! Yeah Platte County for bucking the norm!

Barry is a wonderful school! The teachers are great, the staff is wonderful and the overall enviornment has been great for my children. We are definitely going to ensure that our children stay in PCR-iii schools for their career! And the level of involvement by the parents is great as well. There are always a lot of parents involved, whether it is field trips, PTA, after-school activities etc.
