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.

Oh where do I start... Barringer high school is really what you make of it honestly. You can have a good four years or a bad. It's depends on who you surround yourself with and the decisions you make at the end of the day . So Barringer is not really a bad school like people display it to be.

Barringer High School offers a mix of experiences. It has a long-standing history and provides various programs such as the Law Academy, Career and Technical Education, and Visual and Performing Arts courses. The student-teacher ratio is reasonable, and some students appreciate the support from teachers and available resources.

Really, I love this high school but it has many problems. When I walk for runners of school I have fear because many students are in the wrong way. Luckily there is security but in places like bathrooms you see everything, but eventually, the school is trying to get out of this "disgrace". You can see the changes, and for that, I thank Barringer for helping me with my English and valuing the different cultures that are in this school
