Such a great school! I was born and raised in Vermont, and this school has supported me through everything! As a student with Anxiety, the guidance counselors, and student support staff were quite friendly, and listened well! Teachers don’t discriminate against race, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. The school also provides Spanish classes for students, starting in 5th grade! The ‘specials’ are fun as well, things like Digital literacy, Art classes, Design lab, Health, and more! The school is simply amazing, I got the support and help I needed it throughout all years! I absolutely love this school, I wouldn’t choose anything else! GO BARRE BOBCATS!!

My 2 children went through Barre Town School and were solidly prepared for high school. Both are following an honors and AP curriculum. The school offers a Spanish test for the kids to enter high school with credit for Spanish 1. It's a very nice school community serving a diverse population.

Academically, this school is good. Socially it needs major work. We have had trouble with bullying for multiple years with almost NO help from the school. Teachers are not trained in how to recognize what is/is not bullying and need sensitivity training. The Principal wants to project the school as a "wonderful community" but is quite self-important & does not want to hear negative things that may reflect poorly on himself. The Superintendent told us our child should punch another child in the nose to get bullying to stop! It is disappointing that bullying and blatant RACISM happen here but because it is whispered it is not disciplined. It should not be a well kept secret that bullying occurs at Barre Town, own it, deal with it, make the changes. We should not have to contemplate moving so our child feels safe at school
