Barnhart is a wonderful school which offers great academics and a rich athletic and arts program. As a parent of 2 kids at Barnhart I have seen the changes the school has gone through over the past few years and they are mostly positive.
The academics are very strong, the athletic and arts programs are wonderful and the teachers are extremely compassionate and helpful. Our older child is now attending one of the best private high schools in the area, and is the top of the class there.
Previous comments in City Search talk about the AUSD being as good as private school are completely wrong. The public schools don't give the one on one attention Barnhart teachers and administration give. There are generally 20 kids or less per class which is much better than public school. Yes it costs to go to private school but a great education is one of the only things you can give to your kids that no one can take away.
I am completely sold on Barnhart and what they have given my kids.
