Summary

Barrington Middle School in Lithia, FL, is a large public school serving 1,345 students in grades 6-8 within the Hillsborough district, where about one-third of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. This school is a standout for advanced math, with 91% of students proficient in Algebra 1 and 100% in Geometry—far exceeding district and state averages. However, it faces a puzzling challenge: only 32% of 7th graders are proficient in grade-level math, a sharp drop from 73% in 6th grade. This "7th grade math paradox" is a key area of concern, though the school recovers to 68% proficiency by 8th grade. Barrington also has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 30.5%, which is better than many nearby schools like Eisenhower Middle School (52.9%) and Giunta Middle School (48.5%).

Compared to its neighbor, Randall Middle School—just 3 miles away—Barrington serves a more diverse student body with a higher percentage of students on free/reduced lunch (32.7% vs. 14.3%). Randall is a 5-star school in the top 10% of the state, while Barrington has slipped from a consistent 4-star rating to a 3-star rating in recent years, now ranking in the 62nd percentile. Despite this, Barrington spends less per student ($8,270) than many peers, including Randall ($8,469) and Giunta ($10,797), suggesting it achieves strong results in advanced math and civics (78% proficient) with a leaner budget.

Barrington’s overall performance is solid, with above-average science scores (56% proficient in 8th grade) and a history of strong ratings, but its declining state percentile rank—from 80th in 2020-2021 to 62nd in 2025-2026—is a trend worth watching. The school excels in preparing students for advanced math pathways, making it a great fit for families focused on that area, but the 7th-grade math weakness may require extra support for students at that level. For parents comparing options, Barrington offers a stable, engaged community with notable strengths, though it faces stiff competition from the higher-performing Randall Middle School nearby.
