3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageBarnstable High School has been fabulous for our son! He was at Sturgis Charter for one year and it really turned him off to school as the teachers did not make him feel welcome and were not supportive. What a difference at Barnstable! The teachers were supportive and gave him the structure he needed to succeed. Also, the variety of sports and other activities at BHS is amazing. He loved being part of various sports teams and other activities. We cannot be more thrilled with the combination of academic rigor, supportive teachers, counselors and administrators and extracurricular activities. We're glad he's a BHS Red Raider. This is the best high school on Cape Cod.Parent Review11y ago - West Barnstable Elementary School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageBWB is a great school. The teachers and administration truly care about the children and their happiness. The school facilities need a complete overhaul, for a school of this importance to the community (I include all schools) I as a resident expected more from the town of Barnstable. Despite the old small school fit, the administration, teachers, staff and students seem happy, energetic and provide a safe environment to learn.

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageDecent-food isn't great, as sometimes/often hair found in it. absolutely amazing advanced academics, most teachers i've had don't remind you to turn in assignments/ didn't notify me on failed assignments. Teachers aren't great at updating grades till the last minute, admin has to announce everyday that they need to post attendance. They don't usually resolve conflicts very well.Student Review3y ago - Barnstable United Elementary School
