2/16/2026
Impossible to break into a clique if you haven't lived in the town since kindergarten. The kids can be pretty racist and xenophobic.
10/4/2025
Great school. Kids are prepared for college. I've often heard they find college easier than high school and don't struggle like some of the other kids. School is small which is both good (small class size and everyone knows each other) and not good (ready to move on after four years either the same kids).

Joel Barlow has some great teachers and staff and provides plenty of resources to help their students. The food is great and there are healthy options. The only thing the school lacks is diversity

Great school. Academics are strong and kids are well prepared for college. Classes are small and teachers know all the students. It’s a small school so everyone knows each other though more diversity would be good.

National ranking is not impressive. Testing scores are low. Lots of bullying and hard drinking at this school as there isn't much of an outlet for boredom in the town.

The school test scores and proficiency rates are embarrassing for this region. The administration needs to do what it can to make our schools better and handle the difficult bullying problems. Our town is becoming more diverse but the bullying toward students that are new and different is getting wo...

Joel Barlow is not as rigorous as it once was. The town needs to fix the schools to stay competitive with nearby towns.
