Parent: Barrington school district is awesome, but still clings to its sports side, in my opinion. It is a great school district for athletes, I just wish they would appreciate academic excellence just as much as they appreciate athletes. However, there are a lot of amazing academic programs. There are two language immersion programs (Spanish and Chinese) those attract families to the district, very solid extended programs (math, English, science, art) for children who tend to learn faster than their peers, many-many fantastic teachers at every school and extensive support programs for children who need help. What I love the most about our school district is that how flexible it is. The administration listens to parents and students, they do try to accommodate different needs and "wants". They handled the pandemic situation much, much better than many sister school districts. We moved to Barrington from another district because of schools, and would do it again in a heartbeat!...

Senior: Huntley high school provides quality education, interesting activities, and many opportunities to high school students. I am able to not only work on our high school newspaper but also work in our school orchestra, model UN and global academy.

Our school board doesn't do much about it, and it continues on for years going unnoticed. However, the educational opportunities trump all of the negative things that students say and do....

Senior: I appreciate the level of education given, the district lends its hands to their community and involucrated families of students to be active in such community activities that do come from the district. Focus on elevating education and invest all incoming money to the district on education materials than on repairing bathrooms or other miscellaneous items in school properties. District 300 has the ability to improve and invest in students' education and take the example of the districts that surround them. Stop the focus on only sports but increase it in the world of music and art, spoken word poetry, debate clubs and so on.... Read 95 reviews

Senior: Overall, I have had a really good experience! I have had good teachers who have been very educated in their subject. Most of my teachers have been approachable and flexible when it comes to offering extra help. The schools I've attended have been physically pleasing and the administration has worked hard to keep them up to date. The reason why i didn't give it 5 stars is I feel like they could've done more to prepare seniors for college, and been more lenient to the upper clansmen involving respect.... Read 203 reviews
