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.

I've been a study at Barton for 5 years and I know how people actually are. They are never being racist. Really good friends but sometimes they will laughing at some for being fool. The teachers are very nice and they will help you as long as you need their help. But I felt boring in my last year, seem like the day longer than normal. I hope I can get through it and complete my senior year.

Barton for the most part has been a pretty good school. There are a few things I wish were different, like the clubs and activities. I wish they had more for us to do and participate in.
