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.

It was a good experience. The teachers are helpful, parents are very involved. There are a good variety of classes and activities. Made good friends. Facilities clean and well maintained. Enjoyed attending a school in a rural, close knit community that was very supportive of the school and the students.

I think that Barker is an okay school. I think that my experience isn't horrible but it's not great. My best experience was going to the prom it was very nice and well organized by the school and students. I wouldn't attend this school again because there is not much diversity and there are very little things to be a part of other than sports.

Students support all the team's and sports even if they don't participate. We have two state quality teams and some average teams and poor teams. Recently we had to merge two sports with another school.
