GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

There is a great array of teachers in the school, offering various classes covering many subjects. There are a lot of extracurricular activities offered and starting new clubs and organizations is super easy. Overall, the school has a lot of opportunities and the teachers are always willing to help.

I really love the Barberton School district. The community is great at rallying around our high school athletic events and support our school system in every way. Barberton has gotten a bad wrap at being a run down district that no one would want to go to. On the contrary, Barberton has caring and helpful teachers, a lively atmosphere, and plenty of support from the administration to get you on the best path to success.

They did a great job on given and letting the students good learning opportunity and help. I felt that the teachers were very approachable when I had a question to ask. I am glad that I went to this, opened my eyes to the world, and helped me know what I want to do when I am in the workforce in the future.

I went to this school for one year before transferring to Norton. The teachers care, but I am so glad I was homeschooled before because otherwise I would have been way behind when I transferred to Norton. They care more about that scores than actually teaching. Don't let the new buildings fool you,...

The teachers don't apply you for anything. I got so sick of the students and staff that I moved back to Norton

I love working here. The administration is the best I've ever worked with. They are strict and personable; fair and consistent; supportive and caring. They truly care about each and every student who comes through the doors every day of the year.
