Overall I am so happy that we have been a Barry family for the past 4 years. As a military family, we have felt the support especially during deployments and in preparation to our next move. Barry is fantastic!

Staff needs an overhaul especially the principle.

As a parent, I have thoroughly loved my children attending Barry. The staff there are amazing and so supportive, both professionally and personally. The satisfaction of knowing my children are well taken care of and are making such great strides in education is worthwhile. Anyone would be blessed to have their children attend this fine school! As a military spouse, and all the stress we are going through as it is in the mission, Barry was my Rock that I could rely on.

We have enjoyed our experience at Barry, we were nervous because they closed our school and added all our kids to Barry. This last year was a transition period with lots of learning and I think that the staff handled it well. The office staff are awesome and cared of our kids, had multiple times of them calling telling me that something happened (fell, etc) so that I would know when they got home. My kids were nervous about the switch, but they made it so easy for them. I am truly grateful and excited to see what this year has in store for them.

I have never been more disappointed in a school that I have with Barry. I have had multiple issues with the school being petty about minor issues but when something comes up that is actually a big deal, they sweep it under the rug. The leadership is unethical and there is no transparency to the parents. They are quick to tell me what my children do wrong, but slow to find resolution. I would highly recommend not sending your child to Barry Elementary. Very military unfriendly and bias.

As a military family, this is the worse possible school. Principal does not take into consideration the needs of military kids and families.

The best thing about Barry is the family environment. Every teacher and staff member cares about every student in the school. Students support each other and help each other every day. Academically, Barry ranks among the best schools in Clovis, but the secret to its success is that students know they are "home" when they're at school.

My children are doing wonderful at Barry and I cannot say enough about the teachers and staff :) They are all so amazing and my son and daughter look forward to school everyday and are excited to go. The school is so welcoming and they really do put their students first. I feel blessed!!

My daughter is learning so much more than the required curriculum at Barry Elementary. She is learning character skills through social interaction with not only students but the wonderful staff as we'll. these are traits that will be utilized greatly for her success in this ever changing society. I am a proud parent and supporter of Barry Elementary!
