| We do not recommend this school. Something is odd and out of whack at this place. Turnover is high, both families and staff. There is bullying among adults. Administration shows favoritism. Not worth the tuition which went up again. |

Are you a current parent or staff person? |

100% agree. I had a DC go there. Would not recommend ever. The administration is not qualified has not been for years. Teachers are horrible. We had two great ones. They are no longer there. They take anyone even though they do not have the staff to provide the right help. |

| I find it so strange that there are so many posts on this small school that is barely even in Montgomery County. |

? Barely in MoCo? A place is either in MoCo or it’s not, and Barnesville is in MoCo. I suppose you’re one of these people who thinks that if you’re farther out than Rockville, you might as well not count. |

It comes up a lot for a small school that is ~ 40 miles from DC. |

Believe it or not, not everyone lives in DC! There are 700,000 people in DC and 1,000,000 people in MoCo. Shocking, I know. |

No and it never has been academically. And not "tons" of applications, they were dying..... Since the year before the original head of school left the school has done nothing but go downhill.. The Spanish teacher horrible, the History teacher could not spell, sent incompetent emails etc nice guy but teaching no. Curriculum way behind. "Best teacher for 6th grade" 1 page of work corrected the whole year. Field trip my kid took with her beyond unsafe. And I am not a parent that worries about those types of trips much. Accepted children into the school when they had no business being mainstreamed. The school had no staff to help at all. |

What? It is totally in MOCO. In the middle of nowhere by city standards, but still very much inside MOCO. Might want to get a map. |

| Moco publics are for the poor and destitute. Barnesville is paradise compared to those hellholes. |
