I love Barnum High School, their music program is so good!! I can connect with all of the teachers and staff. Not very many schools have it where all the teachers can talk to you by your name, and Barnum's can. Not just the teachers, but also the staff. This is very much so a positive and motivating school setting. Everyone is trustworthy and honest. Of course there will be some kids that are mean, but the staff does everything they can to deal with issues.

Barnum is very lacking in many ways. If you’re reading this from out of town thinking about going here. Don’t. Barnum is a very white washed town, while this doesn’t effect education for the most part it doesn’t prepare you for the real world. This doesn’t fall on the school obviously it’s just a no...
