Summary

Barrington Road Elementary School is a K–5 school in Upper Arlington, OH, enrolling about 800 students in the high-performing Upper Arlington City district.

In 2025–2026, the school ranked 67th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools — 96th percentile with 5 stars — and it has stayed between the 94th and 99th percentile for a decade. Its district is also strong: Upper Arlington City ranked 54th of 773 districts in Ohio (93rd percentile, 5 stars). Test scores are consistently above Ohio averages and mostly above district averages. The only 2025–2026 result slightly below the district average was 4th grade mathematics (92.5 vs. 92.8). Among nearby schools, Windermere Elementary School ranked higher (25th of 1,560) and posted higher proficiency in most subjects, but Barrington Road Elementary School has a much lower student-teacher ratio (16.4 vs. 26.9) and lower free/reduced lunch eligibility (2.5% vs. 4.32%). Tremont Elementary School and Wickliffe Elementary School were lower across nearly all tested areas.

Chronic absenteeism is exceptionally low: 2.8% in 2025–2026 versus 9.0% for Upper Arlington City, and nearby Clinton Elementary School had 15.6%. Special education is a standout strength, with the school ranking in the 96th–98th percentile for special education students in each of the last three years shown, including 97th percentile in 2025–2026. Fifth grade mathematics has been the most variable area (81.2, 87.1, 72.6, and 78.3 over recent years) but remains above state and district averages. A reported 6th grade mathematics score of 100 is anomalous for a K–5 school and should be treated cautiously. Recent gifted/talented subgroup data is not available, so that is a watch item.
