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 really like being a student at Barnum. My favorite part of the school is the sports involvement. All the coaches are great and that gives me a lot of motivation to play. There are not really any things about Barnum I had a bad experience with. I think there is not much change need for the school at all.

I've been in Barnum since I was 3 years old all they way up to being 17. Beginning as a preschooler an finishing as a senior of Barnum High School. Through my years I really enjoyed my time. In all honesty I had created so many friends as well as memories that created me into the young women I am. This school has amazing an caring teachers that ensure the safety of their students. As well as a very clean and healthy environment that help keep the kiddos safe. Barnum has such amazing teachers who look out for their students as if it was their own kid. I really did love growing up in this district. Barnum also has very good athletic teams and support from their trainers and coaches. That help to carve the students into such amazing athletes. The facility and staff really do ensure that each student is feeling safe and happy. As well as keeping the school clean throughout the building and making sure each kid eats lunch. An to this school I wanna thank them for the memories they gave me.

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...
