My child did not have a good experience here. She came from making A's and B's to C's and maybe 1 or 2 B's. There was too many kids in the classroom as well as there is no aftercare offered by the school to help with homework and other things.

Wonderful school. Teachers and staff are wonderful. Willing to help a struggling child. Children have a structured school and taught how to act in the public .

A fantastic elementary in the Pineville/Alexandria area. My KDG and 2nd grader attended JI Barron for one year, 2009-10, due to a brief transfer to LA. Coming from Iowa I was concerned about LA schools, but we chose Barron based on a personal visit (very professional and friendly) and test scores. Both my boys loved their teachers; I found all the staff to be dedicated, focused on the children, and committed to building strong foundations in the classroom (reading and math especially). The gifted program for my 2nd grader was OUTSTANDING. It's not who you know at JI Barron, it's who you are, and how involved in your child's schooling you want to be. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
