I initially wondered why this particular elementary school was chosen over all of the others in the area, but a quick visit to the school's webpage shows a school with a rich history.
Barretts School was originally a log cabin school called Breen School. After that burned down a one-room brick school house replaced it in 1895 and was used until the mid 1930's. The school is named for the popular Barretts Station along the Missouri Railroad.
Barretts is the original school built in Parkway and additions in the 1930's, 1950's, and 1980's have brought the building to it's current look.
