This school is absolutely terrible. Parents, if you plan on taking your kids here DON’T !! you will regret it immensely. It’s unclean and the amount of people who bully others based on simple things is incredibly bad. Do not send your child here. I do not recommend this school at all!

This school is horrible everyday and sometimes I wish we were online again. Every year we lose our freedom from stupid rules caused by only a group of students. They take charge on when we use the bathrooms and not all of them are available on every floor because their Locked. We don’t get to move freely either. Sometimes I feel unsafe and anxious even when their “guards” there because they scan us every morning almost like TSA. Overall, the environment sucks and nothing is gonna change so don’t come to this school unless u wanna be a nurse by 18.

I really regret picking this school, if I could go back and pick a different high school I would. The staffs are rude and the students are rude. The worst school high experience by far.

Horrendous learning environment, disorganized and apathetic staff in all areas (administration, teachers, special education aids), disgusting upkeep (there are condoms and visible globs of spit on the floors of every stairwell and janitors have given up trying to clean them up), students fail Regents in science, math, English, etc, incompetent principal, fights everyday both within and outside of the school walls, rampant bullying, ridiculous punishments, and an overall horrible school to attend. I'm a current student and this school has been the worst decision I've ever made pertaining to school. Unless you like fighting and don't care about your grades, you will hate it here. Graduating and being college ready is a four-year long battle at this school. I had a teacher once grunt the word "No" at me when I asked a question- no acknowledgement of my confusion or need for help. This moment encapsulates the experience I've had at Clara Barton since freshmen year.

If Clara Barton were still alive she'd hang her head in shame at how some of these teachers who are supposed to be teaching these children treat these kids. Awful teaching staff not really teaching these children anything. Grading based on how much the teacher likes you not on your academic skills. Worst mistake a parent can make by letting your child attend this so called school.

Clara Barton I could picture it now. I researched the high school I wanted to attend. I heard about this school because it was close to my zone but I also found out that you can choose a school that can help you learn about you want to become professionally. I remember growing up I always told my dad I wanted to be doctor. So I said that all the way through however I started thinking about being a nurse. I said that would do me fine. Clara Barton built on the image of a nurse and I fet that was the best choice. Although I made my decision throughout the years I began learning about the other health fields that I never knew. Such as Dental Assistants, Medical Assitants, Dental Technicians, other than LPN there was also a business program. I remember when I met one of the students from the Dental Program she made me fascinated about all the things she did. I also did not realize that this skill was going to help me land a job. I graduated from Clara Barton as a certified Dental Assistant and and I am studying Densitry. If you apply yourself and explore what this school offers. You too might be on the verge of a great career. So explore Clara Barton.
