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.

As a senior attending Barnstable High school for 5 years, I have so far experienced many great parts, and parts that need improving. The teachers here put alot of effort into their teaching. They often stay after school to help any struggling students. However, Barnstable High should improve on making the school more safe. Because of how many students attend here, the hallways are often crowded and its sometimes difficult to get to class.

I believe there are a lot of diverse and good class options compared to other schools on Cape. The school is big but teachers are still able to give direct support and almost every teacher I have had, I loved. They for the most part push you to your ability.

i love my school. I've been there since eighth grade and couldn't be more happy with my academic and athletic achievements. I'm challenged every day academically and i love all of my teachers. The only thing that isn't excellent is the student life because of the administration's fear of accidents.
