"Barclay remains one of the best public schools in Baltimore. In fact, it may be the very best both academically and professionally. Mrs.Horne strives to meet the needs of students and teachers. The students are well above average for a public school. The Calverton system was a blessing for this school for many years, and even without it the excellence continues. The school has never had a problem being elementary / middle school unlike a few schools that had trouble combining the two. The atmosphere in and around the building is positive."

"I have had mixed feelings about the school my child is a minority there and has been treated like one by many of the students over the past few years. This is his first 'good' year so far. I think the teachers and the staff try their best, but alot of the parents are not involved and just seem to be worried about other things more then their children. I have had meetings with parents {the ones that could get themselves out of bed} about the way their children behave and it seems to do no good. My child was not raised to treat someone different because of race but it seems that alot of the kids there have not been raised the same, which is sad, because if it was my child doing it to theirs it would be a big deal, but it gets brushed off since it's the other way around."

"This is an excellent school. Mrs. Williams is an ideal principal. The teachers are excellent. And the food was (in my time there)- the pizza, the burgers, and especially...the chocolate milk- absolutely fantastic. I pray that one day i can meet the teachers (Mr. David Clapp namely) and Mrs. Williams again someday to thank them for what they gave me. Overall, a fantastic school."
