‘Very mysterious’: Pals dish on what it was like to attend high school with Barron
Not much was known about what went on during Barron Trump’s time at Oxbridge Academy in West Palm Beach — and that’s the point.
Now, two months after the former first son graduated from the elite private school, some of his former classmates discussed the surreal experience with The Daily Mail.
Despite the fact that former president Donald Trump’s youngest son towered over everyone at (roughly) six feet seven inches tall, he kept a super low profile.
Protected by Secret Service agents at all times, Barron, who was registered for classes under the alias “Jack,” couldn’t do normal things that other kids did.
Forget about partaking in any extracurricular activities, sports or even appearing in Oxbridge’s social media pages. There’s zero trace of him in the yearbook, reportedly because his mother Melania Trump was worried pictures would get into the wrong hands.
The 18 year old was so fiercely protected that agents stood guard when he went to the restroom.
Despite the extraordinary circumstances, the New York native remained cool under pressure, former classmates say.

“Barron was very funny and sociable,” one classmate told the outlet. “He was also very mysterious. He never attended football games or dances. I don’t think he met up with anyone outside of school or went on dates.”
His known likes include the video game “Clash of Clans” and soccer, which his father has mentioned before.
“I’m sure he had fun in his own way,” the pal added. “But it was a bit of a shame that he didn’t get to have a normal high school life like everyone else.”
