Its good but could always be better, I like the sports here and all the different clubs that are offered
4/9/2025
Over the past four years of attending Barrington High School I have had many ups and downs. I've struggled with my mental health and also academics during my time at Barrington. I mainly struggled with having undiagnosed ADHD for the majority of my time so many people thought I was lazy and didn't want to apply myself so I worked with the school and my family to obtain a 504 plan to help me. Even after getting on my 504 plan it still semmed like most of my teachers disregarded it and treated me like every other student. A few of my teachers actually followed my 504 plan and I started doing better in my classes. I would like to see more teachers actually working with students who have accomidations so they can succeed in their classes and hopefully want to do better in their classes. Mainly giving the students the opportunity to connect with their teachers and feel supported by them to know that they can come to their teachers when they are struggling.

I think Barrington high school has done a very good job preparing its students for college in the form of classes, however, I, like many others, have struggled to figure out what to do for college applications and what we should and shouldn't do to get in.

Each teacher we have met over the years has bee...

My kids have ADHD and other similar disabilities and the school district did an excellent job balancing their special needs as well as supporting one in gifted education. Both scored vv high test scores ACT and SAT and had full rides in college. What else could a parent ask for?

Barrington High School offers SO many opportunities for children to learn and explore. The teachers are extremely supportive and caring as well. Our two children have had great experiences and I am confident that they will be well prepared for whatever lies ahead. Thank you teachers and staff!
