The Barstow School Reviews
However, the administration is beholden to the Board and if you have the right last name you will succeed regardless of effort.
The school is not diverse outside of Asian students. There are almost no faculty of color. Additionally, the school is now run by marketers and not educators. The school succeeds despite the administration and not because of it.
