Barton Elementary School

I started kindergarten at Clara Barton in 1945 while WWII was still going on. At that time, our house was just across am alley from the school and I could walk from the backyard. It started me on my school career and I remember it to this day. I don't recall the teacher's name gut she was marelous. We had so much fun in that class because of her.

I hated it because I was bulled all year and the teachers were rude to me

Horrible, traumatic and Long Beach Unified does not care. By the time I pulled my sons from LBUSD both had complex diagnoses that they are still reeling from. I complained over and over again. No one cares. Shame on you. Our children deserve so much better.

The school is getting better. It has gotten better every since Mr. Littlejohn for the three years ago. it has been amazing. My kids love the school. i have 3 kids there now. They are a STEM school and their STEM Expo is a great experience for students and parents! they have several Robotics Clubs and they said they got a huge grant for STEM for years to come! I am so excited and my group of parents live what's happening. The district better leave the principal here at the school. The school doesn't get enough credit and help from the school district so the teacher and principal are doing it all themselves.
