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.

Very difficult to understand how this school is rated 5-Star when their scores are consistently below state average, per your own site statistics

My son has basically stated every day that there is a race war happening here. He hates going because the black kids are favored by teachers as well as if he stands up for himself than he is "racist". The only redeeming quality is the education is more than decent. Most teachers are willing to work...

I am very happy with our experiences at Barber. Learning is happening, social skills are being developed, and my son looks forward to going to school every day. The school is orderly, clean and well-managed. I was happy to see the longer classes this year. Very pleased.

Barber is a great campus. The teachers there go above and beyond, they buy meals for students, provide extra tutoring and are easy to get a hold of. The clubs there are fantastic and my child loved to go to school.
