BARR Center

Behind every data point is a student with a story.

At Eastview High School in Apple Valley, MN, students are building stronger connections with the adults around them — and that sense of support is growing throughout the school year.

🌟68% of freshmen report they can identify at least one supportive adult they trust at EVHS, with confidence in that connection increasing by the end of the year.

Through BARR, 9th grade teams are developing deeper relationships and a stronger understanding of students — helping staff better support both academic and non-academic needs.

Students feel supported by a network of adults, creating stronger connection, belonging, and trust across the school community.

🌟At the same time, staff engage in timely, collaborative conversations focused on problem-solving and student growth.

Because when students know they have someone in their corner, it changes how they experience school.

BARR helps bring those stories into the conversation — so decisions are grounded in real relationships, not just numbers. 💬

One of the most impactful aspects of BARR is proactive student support.

Rather than waiting until challenges escalate, educators collaborate regularly to identify trends, share insights, and respond early.

This human-centered, data-informed approach helps schools create stronger outcomes for students and staff alike.
