A 7 year old was hung in a bathroom stall by a fourth grader yet, they made excuses and said they were “horse playing “ absolutely unacceptable. Think twice before sending your children to this school .

Second grader was recently hung in the bathroom by fourth graders. Maryland public schools don’t believe in discipline and this is what happens when you don’t DISCIPLINE THE BULLIES!

Leadership and classroom management of inexperienced teachers are troubling concerns.

I really wanted to like this school but I didn't have the most pleasant experience. I actually only kept my son here for three months and then pulled him out and sent him to a school within the District of Columbia

My daughter is in kindergarten. She has really thrived and grown socially. Her teacher Ms. Boley is excelllent and a great communicator. The school is like a family. A love the activities they have for families after school. The principal is awesome and very personable. Sorry to see him leave this year. I would highly recommend this school.

Great teacher and love the education and time dedicated. The only issue I have is with how the principal especially vise principal deal with student issues. The vise principal seems inexperienced and careless.

We pulled our child out of this school. Some of the administrators are excellent, but the principal at the time and the teachers were not satisfactory.

I love Barnhart and especially my daughter's 4 grade teacher Ms. Johnson. In my opinion, she was the best teacher my daughter had. She does not coddle her students, she expects the best from them no exceptions. Ms. J also keeps parents informed and that is essential to helping children succeed. Thanl you.

Sometimes all it takes is a smile, a hello and a big thank to let your school know that you appreciate what they've accomplished with your child. So when you drop off or pick up your child this year say "Good Morning!" , "Good Evening!" , "Have a good day" or whatever good comes to heart. It'll make your day feel brighter or pick your spritis up knowing your child(ren) are in good hands. I know I do:)
