Barron Trump led a very private life while his father was president. This was by design, of course: both Donald and Melania Trump wanted to generally keep their kid out of headlines so that he could live a normal life. That continued after Donald Trump lost the 2020 presidential election and moved to Florida, with Barron settling in for a very southern high school education where he stayed out of the spotlight.
Of course, his famous parents can try to keep the media away from Barron, but they couldn’t stop his fellow students from talking about their time around the young man. Now that Barron has graduated, we’ve gotten more details about his time in high school, and most of them sound…well…pretty weird.
Don’t believe it? Keep reading to discover the weirdest details about Barron Trump’s high school years!
Where did Barron Trump go to high school?
With someone as famous as Barron Trump, there are only so many details about his life that his parents could keep private. For example, it was no secret where Barron went to school: Oxbridge Academy in Palm Beach, Florida. He generally had a safe and happy time there, though there was one ugly incident where a stalker tried to track him down.
Considering that Donald Trump might be the most famous New Yorker of them all, it initially seemed a little weird that Barron was attending high school in Southern Florida. But it was conveniently located near his father’s new permanent home in Mar-a-Lago. Plus, this wasn’t exactly a hillbilly school…Oxbridge is a very prestigious institution, one that boasts a 100% college acceptance rate for its students.

What did fellow students have to say about Barron Trump?
Speaking of students, Barron’s fellow Oxbridge Academy students are one of the best sources of info about his time in high school. And considering how secretive his mother and father have been, many thought that these students would reveal some dark secrets about Barron Trump.
For the most part, though, other students seemed to like the young man. Some who knew him well later told the Daily Mail that “Barron was very funny and sociable. He would start the most random conversations and could be very entertaining.” While praising Barron, though, some of these same students revealed a few details about just how weird the young Trump’s high school days really were.
He had a secret undercover name
In the hallowed halls of Oxbridge Academy, there was nothing Barron Trump could do to hide his famous face from his teachers and fellow students. His family did the next best thing, though, by hiding Barron from the school’s computer. They did so by giving him a kind of undercover name: “Jack” instead of Barron.
Again, this could only do so much to mask his identity. But for anyone ranging from paparazzi to other stalkers who tried to use those school computer records to pry into Barron’s life, his alias helped to protect him.

Avoiding the yearbook and the school’s social media
In addition to trying to keep Barron Trump’s name out of Oxbridge’s computers, Donald and Melania Trump tried to keep Barron away from the school’s social media posts. That makes sense, really: given that he had to put up with at least one stalker while attending the academy, it makes sense not to repeatedly advertise to the world where Barron was going to high school.
Interestingly, this protective parent routine even extended to the school yearbook. That means Barron’s friends, teachers, and fellow students may have fond memories of his time at Oxbridge, but they won’t be able to point him out to anyone in their yearbooks.
He never ate lunch
Perhaps Barron Trump’s weirdest behavior while attending Oxbridge Academy was that he never ate lunch. That doesn’t mean he skipped this period altogether, though. Barron always went to the lunchroom to hang out with his buddies, but he never ate anything the school sold or even food of his own.
In case you’re wondering, Oxbridge offers much fancier food than you likely grew up with in your own school cafeteria. They had fancy meal options from all over the world as well as healthy options like a fruit and salad bar. Heck, the school sometimes served steak, but none of this was tempting to Barron who, in all fairness, had some world-class chefs waiting for him back home.

Barron Trump’s Secret Service agents were always hovering
When it comes to Barron Trump’s time in high school, there was one thing that weirded everyone out but was complete understandable. As the son of a former president, there was always a chance someone would try to attack the young man, much like someone tried to assassinate Donald Trump earlier this year. To keep that from happening, Secret Service agents followed Barron wherever he went.
As Barron learned in class, agents hovered right outside his door. When he went to the bathroom, they escorted him. They even took special care to protect him during school lockdowns, but despite how jarring all of this seems, it took very little time for Barron’s fellow students to more or less ignore the Secret Service agents. More proof, then, that what is “weird” will always be in the eye of the beholder!
