I attended Barringer High for the first 3 years of my high-school career,and I thought the school has potential,but the students just don't put forth enough effort to even begin to succeed. There are a lot of smart students there that aren't trying hard enough to make something of themselves just because of the school they go to. Just because Barringer has a bad reputation doesn't mean that they shouldn't try to become something despite their environment. I think the teachers that were there when I was a student did their best to ensure we had a good curriculum and got a good education. -Class of 2006

Teachers at Barringer needs to participate with the children- how do they expect for them to have good grades if teachers are not teaching at all?

This is a special school. The first H.S. in the state of NJ yet the state has neglected the legacy of this school. This school is dire need of attention and help from the state & city. There hard working people there with little assistance. There are also giftef students that start and then leave because of the chaos. There are too many doors for negativity to come in. It would take more than one principal to do a viable job. This school has promise yet it will never carry the legacy forward until the higher ups stop buying us band aids when what's need is chemotherapy.

I only want evreybody to know that Barringer High School is a very interesting school to attend. It has become a source of mocking by other High Schools but it is not the fault of the teachers. It is the fault of the students that go there. Many of the students there are disrespectful and have no interest in getting a well rounded education. These students refuse to allow other students the chance to become educated. In plain and simple terms, the teachers in Barringer High School are very talented if they were not they would have already left the school system a lont time ago! If you want our student to get a well rounded education show them respect and pride for themselves, teachers and fellow classmates. -Class of 96
