Hard work pays off! We are so proud of our students, staff, and families for the partnership it takes to make so much progress. State test scores are only one way to measure the amazing things that happen in our school, but CONGRATULATIONS on another great year of test scores. This year we are most proud that we have measurable growth for ALL groups of students. That truly speaks to our vision of Excellence for Everyone! But we can't stop now! Let's keep working hard and make even bigger gains this year because at Barret we #NeverStopClimbing! That's #TheBarretWay!
