[quote=Anonymous]It's hard to talk specifically because these schools are so small, just about anything in a post can ID a kid/family. I'm also happy to chat more if you leave an email or way to contact.

For Barrie, classes are very small (only ~15 per grade level) and the majority of the students have been together for a some time and have a social circle.

I would also consider this for Barrie...there have been several administration changes in the past two years that have negatively impacted consistency/communications at the school.

Overall, I would say the education is adequate but the social scene can be a challenge for some. Size also impacts the quality of the extracurriculars- the teams aren't as competitive and clubs/groups are just meeting with the same kids from your classes. The theater program seems to have a good reputation, but the theater teacher is leaving after this year.

Again, keeping this all sanitized but I also don't think Barrie (or any small HS) is for every student. Make sure to ask to shadow before making any final decisions.
