Summary:
ZIP code 03825 includes three public schools in the Barrington School District, serving students from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade: the Early Childhood Learning Center for PK–K, Barrington Elementary School for grades 1–4, and Barrington Middle School for grades 5–8.
The area’s two main tested schools are similar in size, with about 400 students each. Barrington Elementary School has 405 students and showed especially strong mathematics growth, with proficiency rising to 53% in 2025–2026. Third grade was a standout, with 61% proficiency in math and 60% in reading, both above state results. Fourth-grade scores were lower and slightly below the state in both subjects, making that grade an area to watch. Barrington Middle School has 398 students and the stronger overall academic profile. It exceeded state averages in math, reading, and science, with particularly strong reading at 61% and science at 46%. Its performance also improved substantially year over year, including a 12-point gain in science.
The middle school’s strongest cohort is fifth grade, where reading proficiency reached 72% and science proficiency reached 53%. However, middle-school mathematics was less consistent: sixth- and seventh-grade math were both at 43%, near or slightly below state levels, and eighth-grade science was comparatively weak at 36%. The Early Childhood Learning Center serves 137 younger students and has the lowest student-teacher ratio, at 5.4 to 1, though standardized test results are not available for this age group. Overall, the district ranks near the middle but slightly above the midpoint statewide, and recent gains at both tested schools are encouraging. There is no high school listed in ZIP code 03825.
