My experience at Barringer high school it's fine. The best of this high school is the diversity of people and cultures. Many people are kind and is easy to make a lot of friends, you can feel like your are part of all of them. If you need help with something, people always will help you and it's a great opportunity to make new or more friends. This high school also have bad things, one of the examples are the food. Although it's fine most of times, sometimes there are food that in my experience I don't like it, it's a bit weird. Another thing is the lockers, they are to small and sometimes we receive them dirty. This high school has its good part and its bad part but are not enough to retain you to learn and feel like you are at a second home.

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 HS has been a challenging high school when I really learn the importance of resilience, patience, and a way of pushing myself. I would really love to see a high quality of academic staff and student acceptance

Ya know despite the fact that the school is overall not a great place, I've been having a great experience! You'll be good as long as you don't heavily involve yourself with a bunch of various persons and their business. Be careful not to mess with people, but if that does end up happening just tell...
