I have attended Barrington High School for two and a half years. It is a large public school with a small town atmosphere. We have great teachers, programs and many opportunities for all types of involvement in the community and performing arts. The large size of the school promotes independence and individual responsibility for learning. The mathematics classes are tough but with teachers like Mr. Palmer learning difficult concepts is fun. Mr Palmer has made a difference for me!
I love the environment at Barrington High school! Everyone feels very included, there is something for everyone. I have made many friends through different clubs and classes, some not even in my grade! While academics are important, teachers also strive to make the material interesting by connecting it to our lives outside the classroom.
Barrington High School is a great school that will prepare you for college with its rigorous courses. They have a great fine arts department, place a great emphasis on the importance of STEM, and always put student safety first. There are so many clubs and activities for students to be apart of, it won't be too difficult to find a group of like-minded individuals they can connect with or a subject that they feel passionate about. Overall, this school helps prepare students for a college's academic course load, networking, and jumping outside of their comfort zone.
