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.

My experience has been ok. There's been a lot of ups and downs. But, I love my warhorse family. Between the different activities that we do. And different clubs. And the oven that we share with one another. I've just been very humbled being here. And one thing that this school has taught me was you can do anything if you put your mind to it.

Very good experience. I had the best 4 years of my life here. I have made many long term friends. I also had a chance to experience sports.

I've had a decent experience overall at Barnwell High School. Some things I would like to see added are more clubs and extracurricular activities available since there is currently a limited number of them at this school (other than sports). I would also like to see more high-level classes available since there are currently no AP/IB classes, and some difficult classes are unavailable due to limited school staff or a low number of requests for the classes.
