The worst part is dealing with administration, they're always changing policies and schedules and make it hard for students to adjust. The best part is definitely the music classes and resources there.

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.

There is a shortage of teachers, Teachers are more concerned about the students that follow instructions than the students that do not follow rules. Administration does not help students at all.

The student has a choice to do what they like with their education and the teachers respect that. However they offer the tools they may need to improve their efforts and I believe that is what a student needs to prosper. In high school you’re expected to take responsibility of your own learning.

I was supposed to be here at this school but I had to move, this schools year would’ve been better if I was there, I miss my friends, my close friends I miss very much I wanna go back, it’s been a month since I moved and I keep crying thinking about it.

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

I would have to rate the high school with a 1 or less the worst out of every school in the state of New Jersey something should have been done by now but it has not.
