I started kindergarten at Clara Barton in 1945 while WWII was still going on. At that time, our house was just across am alley from the school and I could walk from the backyard. It started me on my school career and I remember it to this day. I don't recall the teacher's name gut she was marelous. We had so much fun in that class because of her.

Horrible, traumatic and Long Beach Unified does not care. By the time I pulled my sons from LBUSD both had complex diagnoses that they are still reeling from. I complained over and over again. No one cares. Shame on you. Our children deserve so much better.

The school is getting better. It has gotten better every since Mr. Littlejohn for the three years ago. it has been amazing. My kids love the school. i have 3 kids there now. They are a STEM school and their STEM Expo is a great experience for students and parents! they have several Robotics Clubs and they said they got a huge grant for STEM for years to come! I am so excited and my group of parents live what's happening. The district better leave the principal here at the school. The school doesn't get enough credit and help from the school district so the teacher and principal are doing it all themselves.

Barton may not score high as an overall school but let me tell you they have one of the best preschool teachers on this earth. Mrs.Judy McClain is an absolute godsend for my child and our family. I have nothing but positive experiences with their staff actually. Love Shawn (playground coach) and like I said Mrs. McClain is tops in our books.

Worst school ever. I only kept my son here for the whole year because he was only there for 3 hours in k. His teacher was great but the teacher next door got fired for smacking kids. I feel so bad for the kids that attend here. I can't wait to leave this school!

I went to this school 6 years ago all the teachers i had were very helpful they try their best to teach us and the have good skills the teachers are nice but sometimes they are mean but they do that so we can learn and be prepared for the future. It is a great school the teachers are great and they make all that they teach as fun as possible for the students to be comfortable in class to learn i know Barton is a great school.
