Summary

Barbara B Rose Elementary School is a 403-student K–5 school in South Barrington, Illinois, part of Barrington CUSD 220. Its results are strong overall, and fifth-grade science is its clearest standout.

Rose is well above state results in all three reported subject areas, while its comparison with the district varies by subject. In all-grade ELA, 76% of students were proficient, compared with 56% statewide and 79% districtwide; Rose was 22 points above the average for nearby K–5 schools and ranked second among the five. In math, 72% were proficient—32 points above the state, 8 above the district, and 26 above the nearby-school average. In fifth-grade science, Rose’s 78% was 30 points above the state and 10 above the district; it was highest among 10 nearby schools, 9 points ahead of MacArthur International Spanish Academy. ELA is Rose’s relative weakness compared with its district, but not compared with the state or same-span neighbors.

Results are higher than two years earlier, though both main subjects have eased from their 2024–2025 peak: ELA moved from 67% to 82% to 76%, and math from 61% to 76% to 72%. Rose’s state advantage also narrowed over that period, from 26 to 20 points in ELA and from 33 to 32 points in math. SchoolDigger ranks Rose in the 91st statewide percentile (159 of 1,737 schools, five stars), down from the 96th percentile the prior year, but still the highest among nearby schools. Its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 11.3, the third-lowest among Rose and 10 nearby schools. The school reported 11% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, the lowest rate among schools with comparable-year data. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness ranking for Asian students was at the 53rd percentile, compared with the school’s 91st-percentile overall ranking. For White students, the ranking was at the 68th percentile, also below the overall result. Science results do not provide a comparable grade-level series across years, so the direction of science performance over time is unclear.
