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.

Barringer high school is a an alright school if u want a close near you and something you can work with overall depense on what the student situation is but if i had to give it a 1 out of 10 i would so like 6. Techers here are ok, students not so much thorws that what i mean is some students just come to walk the halls. That begging said the school is ok but if i had a choice to pick a diffrent school i waould rather choose arts or university since they provide more stuff.

My experience at Barringer High is great. I am in the honor program that I take AP classes. I have been given assistance from my guidance counselor to achieve many goals. These goals has assisted in making it attainable for be to apply and get accepted into some top colleges. My teachers has also been helpful, telling me what classes I should take to excel. It is not just a job for them, some took time at the end of the day to tutor me.

Barringer has improved so much over the past couple of years. They increased the amount of course offerings and programs for all students. They have a new JROTC program and Law program, as well as a great social justice program. It is a great place to be.
