Summary:
Barrington, New Jersey’s supplied school list contains one school, Woodland Middle School, serving grades 5–8 and enrolling 220 students. Because only one school is listed, there is no local school-to-school top or bottom comparison. The clearest standout is Algebra I: in 2025–2026, Woodland reported 100% proficiency in both end-of-course and grade 8 results, compared with 40% and 75% statewide, respectively.
Within Woodland’s results, ELA and science generally compare favorably with the state, while math is uneven. ELA proficiency was higher than the state’s in grades 5, 7 and 8—63% versus 52%, 70% versus 56%, and 67% versus 53%—but lower in grade 6, at 48% versus 51%. Science was above the state in both reported grades: 38% versus 27% in grade 5 and 27% versus 19% in grade 8. Math was below the state in grades 5 and 6 (45% versus 46%, and 29% versus 40%), but above it in grades 7 and 8 (52% versus 38%, and 44% versus 23%). The grade-by-grade variation is important: the Algebra I results do not mean general math results are equally strong across grades.
Results shifted differently by subject from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026. Woodland’s four-grade average in math fell from 48% to 42%, while the state average rose from 36% to 37%; in ELA, Woodland’s average edged up from 61% to 62%. SchoolDigger ranked Woodland at the 65th percentile with 3 stars in 2023–2024, the 75th percentile with 4 stars in 2024–2025, and the 72nd percentile with 4 stars in 2025–2026. For context, its student–teacher ratio was 8.3:1 and its free/reduced lunch eligible measure was 39% in 2024–2025. Chronic absenteeism was 10% at Woodland and 14% statewide in 2024–2025.
