Barrington High School Reviews
Rating 3.98 out of 5 509 reviews
Barrington High School is a school that can provide a variety of experiences. There is virtually an activity, class, sport, and more for everyone and every type of person at our school. I believe the opportunities provided at this school and the district are incredibly helpful towards preparing students for college. The academic excellence and competitiveness is what makes BHS students go on to attend a variety of colleges. Although there are some issues with this school. Diversity is certainly not one of BHS’ strong suits along with the school culture which can certainly be toxic at times. Additionally, some particular members of the school administration are not quite respected by the students or even some of the staff. As a Hispanic member of the student council, I can agree that although conlifct are limited, the administration could certainly do a better job on a variety of issues. Overall, I would very much say that the education at BHS is quite worthwhile.
Overall, my experience has been great. Barrington High School offers a rigorous curriculum when desired, academic and personal support when needed, and generally a great community for whatever career pathway you follow. The teachers are supportive and understanding while helping you achieve and meet the high standards the school has. The variety of extracurriculars and classes offered outdo many other schools given they have something for everyone and everything you might be interested in. Many of the things I would change if given the chance are being adapted in the next few years such as more study spaces for peer collaboration and support and better career-ready programs.
I loved going to Barrington High School. It prepared me for college in ways that I do not think other high schools would have been able to do. The teachers and staff at this school are unconditionally supportive and want to help you grow in academics. The amount of resources at this school are incredible, they have help for almost every subject and the teachers are willing to give their own time to make sure a student is going to be successful.
