Summary

In Barrington, Illinois, Barrington Middle School Station serves 886 students in grades 6–8 in Barrington CUSD 220. Its overall academic results are strong, but performance differs by subject: eighth-grade science is its clearest distinction, while mathematics is its main relative weakness.

The school stands out locally in ELA and science, but is less exceptional in math. In 2025–2026, 83% of students were proficient in ELA, compared with 79% districtwide and 56% statewide; the school ranked third among 11 nearby schools, whose average was 71%. In math, 58% were proficient—above the state’s 40% and the nearby average of 50%, but below the district’s 64%; Barrington ranked fifth locally. Eighth-grade science was especially strong: 83% proficient, 31 points above the state and slightly above the district. That was the highest result among nearby schools reporting the grade, making science the school’s strongest local comparison.

Results rose from 2023–2024 to 2025–2026: ELA increased 6 points, to 83%, and math increased 12 points, to 58%. Even so, the school’s lead over the state narrowed by 10 points in ELA, while its math lead widened by 1 point; math remained below the district. SchoolDigger ranks the school at the 89th statewide percentile and awards it 4 stars; it ranks fifth among the 11 local schools by percentile. SchoolDigger’s 2025–2026 ranking for Hispanic students was at the 64th percentile, below the school’s overall 89th, and its ranking for Special Education Students was at the 76th percentile, down 16 points from 2023–2024. In 2024–2025, the student-teacher ratio was 12.4, and 19% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible; that measure averaged 29% among nearby schools with the same measure and year. These figures provide context, not explanations for academic results.
