St Barnabas Episcopal School

Beware of this school. The experience in younger grades was good for us with good teachers. Later years were more like a nightmare with inept and unkind teachers. Administration backs teachers without regard for facts and refuses to listen. Initially there was good dialog with teachers and a collaborative spirit, until the administration refused to let us meet with teachers. Their excuse was that the teachers were too busy to meet with parents regularly. Athletics are a joke. Your child can be a starter and receive preferential coaching on any team if you are related to the administration or donate plenty of money. As for character development, there are nice signs and lots of pretty brochures, but we found bullying, lying and deceit to be prevalent on part of students as well as teachers. Conversations with other parents revealed similar experiences. We would put younger children in the school again, but move them before getting to middle school.

Laura Allen: I find the teachers and staff to be very helpful, loving, and kind. The curriculum is excellent.  The grounds are beautiful, historic, and cozy.  I am very happy with the overall experience of all four of my children attending ST. Barnabas. I am thankful our children have a school in which they are taught excellence and especially about God and His son Jesus Christ.

A very satisfied parent.
