Overall, Barton High School is the best in their county, and possibly the best in the region. There have been many new facutly members come into the school within the past two years, including a new principal and superintendent.

Barton School District has grown in the 5 years I have attended. They have built new schools and seemed to be committed to the academic growth for the students. They have instituted college advancement courses for students to better prepare them for college. If given the opportunity I would refer students to attend Barton High School.
