Low security. No buzzer. Lack of dedication to keep our children safe. It's a very dangerous area and should have no excuse to invest in security systems and scurity staff.

We've had a great experience here over the past 2 years and we look forward to continuing next year. The administration is open to meeting with parents and they work hard to make sure each kid is taken care of. Going to Barnum feels like joining a community, one that I'm proud to be a part of.

The only problem I have with this school is there are more Spanish speaking classes then English speaking class. With that being said the English speaking class is jammed full of kid. For example kindergarten has 1 English speaking class compared to the 3 Spanish speaking class same with 2ND grade but the 1 English class has 45 kids compared to the 25 kids in each Spanish class. Why can't it just be even 2 English classes 2 Spanish classes. Just saying!!!

I would not recommend sending your kid to this school. The kids are constantly bullying my daughter who is in 2nd grade. I've called and made several complaints to the school with no resolution. Seems as they dont care about the safety or well being of your child as the bullying persists. I will be withdrawing my child at the end of the year and spreading the word about Barnum.
