I love the way that they make is college ready but I wish that they weren't so career focused because it can be stressful at times.

I would like to see Barren County put more emphasis on putting their students first, and having more diversity. Barren is a school riddled with bullying and a toxic culture around students who may be "different" than others, whether that may be through race, socioeconomic status, religion, sexual orientation, etc.

Barren County High School is a school field with different people. Like most schools you have your sporty kids and the smart kids but they are not judged based on that. Everyone is friends with everyone at least most of the time. There are people who are rude and there are people who are nice but there is always a teacher that you can rely on. That school has the teachers I can trust most and I know that they have gone through some of the same things I have.

My teachers make me feel genuinely cared about and that I have a place in the school. They have supported me in all my choices and pushed me to be a better student. The school has such a positive environment and it makes me want to come to school everyday.
