Barrington offers so many unique courses. Some courses that are being implemented in other schools actuallh started at Barrington, such as the mobile app development class. Throughout my experience at Barrington, there have been multiple teachers that have had a tremendous impact on my growth.
Barrington High School is fairly nice. Facilities could use some upgrading, but in terms of academics, there are many course options and the teachers are always willing to help their students succeed.
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.
