Barrington High School was an incredible experience. It provided incredible opportunities to me in both academic and musical pursuits, and I felt that I was always given the opportunity to do what I wanted. With music, it felt like there were never-ending opportunities to practice and perform, with marching band, concert band, orchestra, pit orchestra, and more all being options. There were practice rooms to practice in during any period of the day, and the music facilities were quite nice. For academics, I was well-challenged in all subjects. Barrington provides an astounding number of courses for all types of students, and teachers and counselors are very willing to accommodate your needs as a student. Overall, the school provided an excellent experience and was very fortunate to attend.
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.
