I felt more support from my favorite staff members during my final year at Barnstable.
Barnstable preps young people for higher education by offering programs and classes that attend to the general needs of the student. The nursing, culinary, and child development programs offer hands-on experience and certificates after completion. Overachievers can graduate early, take difficult classes, and start up clubs.
Barnstable is still a public school that helps students succeed academically and grab hold of their future.
Staff either really enjoy their jobs or hate their jobs. Trust me. A student can tell the difference.
As I grew more independent, towards the end of my high school years, I often felt held back and talked down to. Almost like my voice held no importance because of my age. That's something that really bothered me.
I rated three out of five stars after an incident with an insensitive, unprofessional "housemaster". I will be following up with my complaint in the Fall to discuss the problems that occurred, and what would have been a more productive way of speaking to a young person. (Even staff found the situation demeaning and unprofessional).
I think growing those relationships come with developing maturity and social skills.
The school is broken down into groups of people. Find your group right away or you won't fit in at all. The bullying used to be ridiculous but that's with almost every public school.
Suspended a student from school for "a small amount of marijuana residue" in his backpack.. What a joke of a high school! The security theater is REAL! OH NO HE HAS SOME WEED DUST AT THE BOTTOM OF HIS PACK.. I believe this is the most hypocritical thing i have ever read due to the fact that some of the teachers and faculty regularly smoke crack cocaine!
I expected to become close with a guidance counselor that has been with me for five years. It felt like he didn't have the time to give me when I was in his office.
I didn't like my guidance counselor. He acts like a best friend but I never felt comfortable enough to open up to him about how I was feeling. He did help me through one or two challenging situations. Most the time, I felt unheard or disregarded.
I know that young people problems seem minor compared to problems adults experience throughout their lives. What adults fail to understand or blatantly disregard is that the issues that arise are the most traumatic for us at that time. We just need someone to talk to who can understand how we feel.
Food is awful. There are some amazing teachers, but they are heavily outnumbered by awful administration and rule sets. Students are average to above average in terms of friendliness and general niceness. Spent 5 years there, gladly not going back because there will be more graduation requirements than students there eventually.
Great psychology class, dta class, and outstanding English department.
The food is awful. Pack a lunch. At least the cafeteria ladies are nice.
I graduated from Barnstable High in 2011 and I hated this school so much my teachers taught me the same things every year I learned from the year before. And all the teachers I had I couldn’t stand they treated me like trash and every day i came home i would always be upset and sad from the way I was treated. When my brother went to this school he had all the good teachers and once I came into this school i got all the rude teachers
There are a couple of teachers whom I truly adore(d), but as said previously, the good is heavily outweighed by the bad. I have teachers who have no interest in the learning experience of their students, no knowledge on how to teach (one teacher in particular is often taught more by the students!), and have no desire to better their students' experiences at the school. My own counselor has no interest in his assigned students and poses only as someone who is there to make you feel bad about yourself. He also has shown no interest in making my school career better for me and does not care if you fail a class. Many staff members believe it is solely the fault of the student if he or she fails, when in fact, many people I know have been unable to successfully work with teachers and are never given any help,despite being asked.
