[quote=Anonymous]I am shocked to read that a former Head of School, with no affiliation to Barnesville School for 5 years, felt informed enough to praise the school in its' current state, and say that he would send his own children there.

Today's Barnesville School Administration suffers from poor leadership and academic chops, resulting in high teacher turnover (more than 3/4 of the teachers have left in the last 5 years.) This includes abrupt departures of the Spanish, Science and Social Studies teachers mid-year, because they were so fed up with the Head of School and Assistant Head of School. The Spanish teacher was not replaced, so the kids were left doing busy work for the remainder of the year. Sadly, departed teachers were replaced by mostly young and inexperienced educators, who are not given appropriate mentorship or oversight. The children in the classroom suffer.

Families are exasperated with the Head of School and Assistant Head of School's happy talk, but non-existent or sloppy follow-through on myriad concerns. There is no excuse for the poor academics, and the lack of extracurriculars like sports teams, catered lunch, and M.S. Peru trip, due to low enrollment, adds insult to injury.

I know Barnesville was once a fantastic school, but today it is a shell of its former self, lacking substance and relying on its' past reputation. I would not recommend it to my worst enemy.[/quote]
