My son transferred to this school during a rough point in our lives. He received support from the school staff beyond what I would expect as a parent. They reach out to me to and communicate about any issues that are out-of-pocket for my son. He has excelled in his education since we moved and he attended Barcelona.

As a student, I think Barcelona has many opportunities for kids, for example, STEM saturday, MESA club, and many programs. They also have many choice of sports for your kid's interest. All teachers are really dedicated to their work, and caring for their students. Their quotas was "Building a foundation to student's success.", and I think they did a really great job at it, because teachers are always prepared every single day in class. Bottom line, this school is great, they have dedicated teachers, and great learning enviroment.

As a parent of children who go to Barcelona, I have noticed a huge difference in the school. My children come home from school and talk about how much they enjoy learning and love their teachers. They are always excited about the different events and activities as they have been recognized for their attendance and grades. When visiting the school for different functions, I have been greeted with smiles and generosity. I am proud my children go to Barcelona and we have noticed great change in Barcelona.

A true nightmare. Avoid the neighborhood. Avoid the school. It was bad, when Dr. Peck was Superintendent; and it is much worse now.

the school was the worst school I ever said my daughter to she was only there a few months and I had to pull her out, she was almost jumped by 12 students, so when I went to the principal about this she assured me my daughter would be safe, and that she would get to the bottom of the problem that day I got a call from the school hey my daughter was punched in the face, when the principal asked the students why they were pulling my daughter they said they had no reason to never did anything, they just don't like her cause she has the same name as their friend, if I had a choice I would not give the school any stasstars

There's a lot of good things and bad. Without going in to it, I found that parents are the last to know about how their kids are doing in school. You have to stay on them to keep appraised. Parent participation is a must if you want your kids to do well. My son is in the 7th Grade, very smart but like most kids would rather be playing video games or watching youtube. School work comes in dead last. I have to keep in contact with his teachers to keep him from falling behind. They have good teachers but maybe not enough support staff.

I visited this place on take your parent to school day I was appaulled over the lack of control of the students, sub par education, and lack of student saftey. A kid cursed out a girl in front of a teacher and she didnt reprimand the student nor console the victim of the harassment. Luckily my daughter only started 4 months ago and is going to high school next year and wont have to deal with a school I wouldnt even send a dog to.

Inthis school you can do whatever you want, and almost nothing will happen. It's pretty great.
