Barrett Elementary School

Barrett Elementary is a fabulous school with a wonderful, experienced principal and dedicated staff. We were lucky to be able to choose to attend Barrett when transfers were permitted from nearby "cluster" schools and the community has become our community even though we don't live in the neighborhood. It has been a great fit for my children educationally and socially. Barrett has been recognized for its leadership in human rights and community building and does amazing things to bring everyone together in a rich learning environment. Barrett students are engaged in many ways and are lucky to have the Science Discovery Lab and TV studio which are lead by extremely talented teachers. Just this year Barrett was selected to offer the foreign language "FLES" program and the staff and students made the transition remarkably well.

Barrett is a wonderful school. The teachers are top-notch, and the principal is amazing. The community is very welcoming and close knit. The family involvement in the school community is an added bonus. The projects at the class level and the school wide level are fun, creative, and a great way to inspire the kids to learn.

I love the primary Montessori program and the fact it's close enough for my daughter to walk to. As a former aerospace engineer, I'm especially tickled that they're hooked up wuth NASA!

Barrett pulses with energy and optimism! It's a diverse school -- economically, socially, racially, ethnically, linguistically. The principal's terrific leadership brings it all together, and enables students, teachers and staff to excel with initiatives like 'Project Discovery' and the 'NASA Explorers' program. E pluribus, Barrett!

Among other things, I'm impressed with the writing program. Ms Rente had my granddaughter writing and illustrating her own books within the first months of Kindergarten. My second granddaughter is in Ms Rente's class this year. I've observed Ms Rente's classroom. She dispenses discipline along with affection for her students.

I have seen Grandchildren bloom, thrive and excell there
