Barrington High School Reviews
Rating 3.98 out of 5 501 reviews
Barrington High School is a large high school in the heart of Barrington that offers its students a wide range of academic classes, activities, and clubs to participate in. What I personally enjoy most about Barrington are its unique elective courses. In particular, they offer a variety of of art classes that specialize on art ranging from photography to ceramics to digital art. Another aspect of Barrington that I enjoy is its school spirit and its teachers' true dedication and care for their students. I have had many teachers throughout my high school career and I can say that the majority of them put every effort to help their students, making sure they were set up for success. Overall, being at Barrington these past four years has been a blessing and something I will never forget!
Great school with top tier teachers and curriculum! Barrington has abundant resources for all students and offers a variety of inclusive sports/activities. All students feel welcome and are able to find their niche while attending. Some of the best 4 years of my life! Barrington High School made me feel safe and secure while learning and pushing myself to be the best student, teammate, and leader as I graduated to pursue my graduate degree.
Something that I cherish about the Barrington High School Community is the high quality education, connections and groups. At BHS my academic skills have really been challenge and I greatly cherish that because it has bettered my academic skills greatly. The connections and groups (clubs/extra curricular) at BHS also play an adequate roll in my experience at BHS because it had exposed me to so many new things and I have developed so much knowledge on helpful academic and non-academic information. However, something that I feel can be bettered at BHS is the classes offered. I know that there are required courses and so on that are required for students to graduate, although it is hard sometimes to find space and courses in general for students that we want to take just out of interest or for our possible future careers. I feel that the course inclusivity is lacking just a smidge. Other than that, my BHS experience has been unforgettable and greatly appreciated.
