There are too many discipline issues to deal for the teachers. It's not fair for the students that are there to learn. So we took our child out of the school, it's sad but it seems a majority of the parents do not have the time to care for their children, they are too busy with their own drama and it is very sad.

A lot of people were surprised when we chose to send our son to this public school, across the street from a housing project. He attended 7 years at Barth, starting in 4k through 5th grade. We could not have been more pleased with the entire staff at Barth and the quality education he received there. The teachers are amazing, and the two principals he had while at Barth were both exceptional. We always felt our child was safe and well cared for at Barth, in addition to receiving an excellent education. Don't let the school's location fool you. This is a quality school and your child will received an outstanding education in a very diverse environment.

Barth Elementary is filled with exceptional teachers and a great principal, Mr. Oxenford. My kids are getting a good, solid, character-building education at Barth. Its a warm and wonderful place, my kids love it there.

Barth is a great school with teachers and staff that truly care about their students and their student's families. Their leadership program for boys, The Barth Bulldogs, is amazing!
