Very good opportunity and resources. A top school in the national and especially Midwest. I truly was on the right track to success and to reach my true potential because of the great education from Barrington High School.
I’ve been a Barrington student my whole life and, compared to friends in other districts, Barrington is near the top in terms of technology, building updates, and teaching quality.
I am currently a Senior at the high school and I have had ups and downs, but no overall complaints. We have great academics and we also have good athletic programs. We could do better in the fine arts program, because bhs tv is their main priority and they push the yearbook and the roundup aside.
This is the worst District in Illinois. Don’t let the fake ratings fool you. They refuse to listen to parents and do not provide the level of education that you would expect from the amount of taxes you pay. Brian Harris and his board is a failure.
Great district, lots of talented teachers that offered me a great education. Most everyone was willing to me help when I needed it, but as always some teachers like you to figure it out on your own.
The teachers were nice and prepared me for college. Some teachers need to be let go, and new young teachers need to be hired.
Typical school environment in an affluent area - lots of entitlement, clicks, and exclusion. Most teachers are OK but there are a few who are less than marginal and lazy. Would I choose to attend here again - NO!
This is such a great place with many great opportunities. I’ve been at this school all for years and I’ve enjoyed it. They’ve been improving a lot of things as well, making it a lot better place.
It is a very welcoming and diverse community. Everyone has a place here and it exudes a typical, fun-loving High School experience.
District 220 is a good district. I am a student at Barrington High School, and I can confidently say that this district is a wonderful district to be in. At BHS, there are many opportunities for students! Many courses (from regular to AP) to choose from and activities to join in school. The teachers will help you as long as you reach out to them. Also, the school library at BHS is incredible. It's a great environment to study and do homework. This year, BHS has really emphasized safety and I can truly say I do feel more safe than I have over the years at BHS. District 220 is doing a wonderful job at building up their schools.
I love district 220 and all the district 220 schools I attended. The schools are very technology forward and provide students with great environments to learn and properly prepare them for their next stages in life.
I have like the classes and teachers and how everyone was accepting of everyone here no matter who they were and what they did in life. Something I would like to see change is when someone uses the online report a bully choice that someone actually look at them and talk to someone about it when I have been in this school for 4 years now little has been done to help me and others with bullying and I have seen teachers take the bullies side when that has happened I have never felt more so alone than then so I wold like to see an improvement.
Barrington High School has a very strong, rigorous academic program which is very helpful in preparation for college courses. Though the classes can be difficult, there are many resources and helpful, friendly staff members willing to offer assistance to those who need it.
I think its a good school overall, i never experienced any kind of trouble here and the academics overall are excellent, i feel like i am prepared for college after graduating this school.
Academics are outstanding making the school one of the top in the state. I enjoyed my teachers so far, very supportive and always stay connected to make sure students are on track. I was struggling a bit in my AP Physics class during the first part of the year but my teacher took the time to meet with me and my parent. She suggested a study plan to bring my grade up, and it had great results! I finished my Junior year with a B which was awesome!
I also like the sports offered and the school spirit attached to that. I played soccer for two years but had to stop during my Junior year due to heavy and more demanding course load.
I would strongly reccomend Barrington High School to any student willing to challenge themselves and make learning a priority. Go Broncos!!

I felt that the school wasn't diverse enough to portray life outside. Much of the academics and people are very white-washed. Meaning, the only perspective you get in your education is European. Often times, the curriculum and students reject people of color with or without intending to. I personally feel that Barrington High School has only adequately prepared students who will live in a predominately white rich community in and after college.
Positively one of the best, well -rounded, knowledgeable teaching staff in the state of Illinois. Students graduation are ready for any college- including the ivy leagues.
