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.

I do not hold a strong opinion towards Barnegat High School. This school can be fun because of the sense of community we have, but it is not a place for artistic students to truly progress. Being a student who wants to pursue art in college, my high school does not help me prepare for my future due to its lack of funding. This can be seen with many other important subjects as well.

Not bad, did ok with Covid but basically gave up and barely got homework, pep rally’s are booty but overall vibe isn’t bad. Sucks during the winter but that’s just because of the weather. Warmer months of school are always better
