Better than 98% of Rhode Island high schools

Summary

Located in Barrington, Rhode Island, Barrington High School serves grades 9–12 and enrolls 1,098 students. SchoolDigger ranks it #1 of 58 Rhode Island schools for 2025–26, at the 98th percentile with five stars; the Barrington district ranks #4 of 61, at the 93rd percentile with five stars. The most important finding for families is that Barrington combines the state’s top SchoolDigger ranking with the strongest latest test results among nearby high schools serving the same grades.

Barrington High School stands especially far above state results in math: its 11th-grade SAT math proficiency is 66%, 42 points above the state, and its 10th-grade PSAT math is 71%, 41 points above. Its state advantage is smallest in PSAT ELA, but still substantial at 32 points (88% versus 56%). It also leads nearby high schools in science and the latest SAT and PSAT results. For example, Barrington’s SAT results are 86% in ELA and 66% in math, compared with 78% and 37% at nearby Mt. Hope High School. Barrington’s science result is 2 points above its district; school and district results are equal or nearly equal on the other latest tests.

Results remain very strong, though not all are rising: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, SAT ELA increased 1 point and PSAT math increased 4 points, while SAT math fell 4 points, from 69% to 66%. Science rose 3 points overall, despite a sharp rise and fall in the intervening years. SchoolDigger has ranked Barrington #1 or #2 statewide since 2015–16, at percentiles between 96 and 98. Its 2024–25 graduation rate was 97%, tied for the highest among the nearby schools listed with Metropolitan Career Technical Center; that compares with 96% for the district and 86% statewide. The school’s 12.6 student-teacher ratio is around the middle of the nearby group, while its 13% free/reduced-lunch rate is below every nearby school’s; these figures describe context, not a cause of results.
