Welcome to Barnett Elementary School

Home of the Bobcats!

Barnett Elementary School opened in September 1992. We are a K-6 elementary school with 33 classrooms, a large Library-Media Center, two Computer Labs and a Multi Purpose Room. The campus has been designed to complement the natural surroundings of its location. A creekbed and many large oak trees on campus provide a beautiful setting for learning.

Barnett Elementary School is located in the beautiful country setting of Ramona, California. Ramona has a population of 43,000 plus and is located 36 miles northeast of San Diego in the foothills of the Cuyamaca Mountains at an elevation of 1400 feet.  Venture over the mountains and you will be in beautiful Anza Borrego Desert. Known as the Valley of the Sun, Ramona boasts clean, clear air and glorious days of sunshine and gentle breezes. Summertime temperatures average in the 90's, giving way to cool, pleasant evenings. Wintertime temperatures average in the 60's providing a slight crispness to the warmth of the sun.

ESP is a  school-age program designed for parents who want their children in a safe and enriching program before and after school, and all day on specific school holidays. (Thanksgiving, Winter Break, Spring break).
