GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Although there are a few teachers at Barker that don't put there all into teaching there are others who do. Most teachers are very knowledgeable. For the most part the teachers help students when they are struggling. The teachers communicate well with the students to make sure they understand everything that is going on in class. When grading the teachers are fair and consistent.
