Clara Barton Elementary is a great school that really cares about the wellbeing of the whole child. Although it is relatively a newer school, the school management has put in a lot of effort to build a strong staff and student community which shows in their achievements. Besides focus on academics, the school also focuses on values which I believe are needed to set the foundation for success. They are supported by a strong PTSA which works diligently to provide a variety of enrichment activities for the students. The school is in the midst of million dollar homes with high achieving parents. So, expectations from parents are always high! :) Close Quote

Agree with the review on principal above. Pretty clueless and unimaginative way of dealing with K-1. The only silver lining for the remote kids was interaction with other kids via Teams before each meeting began. The autocratic principal in her infinite wisdom banned that. Screw the kids mental health, right? Close Quote

My review primarily reflects the disastrous remote learning policies forced on students and teachers by the principal as well as the reluctance to receive feedback. Kids as young as 5 year old were forced into short blips of 20 minute meetings and implicitly REQUIRED at least one parent to sit with them through out the day. My kid quite literally learnt more in four 1 hr zipschool zoom classes in summer than the 4 months at Clara Barton during the current remote learning. All feedback given about not having enough time for adequate engagement with students were brushed aside. The teachers are great in the school, but constrained by a principal without creativity and ability to take feedback. The school would do much better with another principal. Close Quote
