Barrington Road Elementary School Reviews

Great school-great teachers-couldn't get any better.
This review was posted by a parent.

Barrington is a wonderful school full of (mostly) passionate teachers. However, while the administration was quick to embrace my child who was quite bright and entered into the gifted program, my second child who needed a bit more attention in reading and writing was steered towards ADHD evaluation (which I politely declined). He's in high school now and is doing beautifully. One obvious weak spot is the lack of diversity in the school. The student population is 99% Caucasian. Other schools in the district have a better mix.

Great learning environment. Parent involvement welcome. Small community feel where everyone knows each other, usually by name.

My son attended this school for one year when we moved to UA in 2003. After being in a private school and being used to individual attention, our experience was horrible. The principal, Pam Yoder, is very cold, aloof, and uninvolved which sets the tone for the school. There are two programs, the contemporary and the informal, yet nobody can effectively articulate the difference. My son had adjustment issues and the administration was not at all concerned. The teacher was incapable, at best. We were very disappointed but many of our friends and neighbors love the school. We left after that year and went back to private.

This school has been a wonderful fit for my family. My son is an avid reader, and the learning environment at this school helps foster that. There is much parent involvement from volunteering in the classron to an arts and crafts alternative to outdoor recess. There are monthly presentations preformed by and for the students in the informal classrooms. It has been a great exerience for my oldest son and I look forward to sending my youngest when he's ready.
