Excellent school for my kids and they have had exceptional teachers who have brought out the best in my kids.

Throughout my overall experience with this school, there have been multiple instances where a family member (who shall remain nameless) has been pushed around by a bully who is known about by at least some of the staff, put down by the teachers, and even has been made to cry because of what a teacher has said. I do not recommend this school for any reason other than if you live in the neighborhood next to it, and even then I would hope to go to a different school in Owasso.

AMAZING SCHOOL! The staff is wonderful, the school was built with children in mind. The approach they take to teach is amazing. They're not only teaching academics but life skills. Building character, respect,compassion. I am so proud that my children have the chance to go there. Owasso school district as a whole is absolutely superior!

Best school ever! I leave all the time and am always super impressed with everyone at Barnes. Amazing atmosphere, warm, friendly and helpful. All the teachers I know go way above and beyond the call of duty. The leadership and accountability is phenomenal. My kids love going to school everyday and I love seeing them grow in all aspects of life skills and academics. Not to mention there are positive incentives and reward programs which make students want to be successful and achieve more. What a blessing it is to be a part of this school...Barnes does education right and we as parents are SO grateful for that firm foundation Barnes is providing on a daily basis. Thank You!!!

We have lived here for 4 years and loved having our kids at Barnes. The teachers are great. The TACK program is wonderful. My kids have been happy there and I can't say anything better than that.

Exceptional school. The principal seems to nurture a very postive environment between children and staff. Our daughter's first grade teacher, Mrs.Smith, was amazing. She is as invested in the childrens' happiness as she is in their education. Our entire family was treated with nothing but love and kindness from Barnes' entire staff. I just can not say enough wonderful things about this school. They really encourage parent involvment and welcome parent volunteers.

Because the staff has what it takes to keep the students excited about getting their education!
