I agree with the first reviewer. My child is in 4th grade and I only recognize a handful of the teachers that were there when my daughter was in kindergarten. The staff seems very UNHAPPY and no one seems to know what's going on. EVERY time I hear Mrs. Garrido speak, she is always scolding us like we are little children and telling us what we 'should' be doing as parents.

The teachers at Barrick are excellent! My child really enjoys attending this school and is receiving a great education. I think it is a very safe school. I feel secure that my child is being left in good care. The only negative about the school is the lack of parent involvement and the office staff. The staff seems to be a bit rude and not very knowledgeable about what is going on in the school.

Barrick Elementary's administrative staff is extremely unprofessional. None of them enjoyed what they were doing and it was obvious. Nobody ever knew what was going on with fundraisers, field trips, etc. Making things easier for the parents was certainly not a priority for this school. I was very disappointed with this school, to say the least. I moved away from the area as quickly as I could. I must say, though, that the teachers were wonderful. Mrs. Wiley and Mrs. Sass were the two teachers my child had and they were excellent. But I have since learned that they too have left. Overall, I think if the administrative team at this school did not act like a bunch of bitter teenagers with regard to their jobs this school would be a bit more pleasant.
