Excellent. We have two children in 3 and 1 st grade and couldn't be happier with the school.

This school has many strengths, strings and other strong programs, pto enrichment offerings, but needs some professional development to comply with rules governing education, disciplining of students, special needs including teaching to students strengths. Improvement has started very strong, but needs time to take hold.

My grandsons just began at Barrington following spring break. The principal Mr. Jason Fine gave us a tour and introduced the boys to their new teachers. Everyone was very friendly. The school has a reputation for being challenging academically. State test scores are excellent. After two weeks, my grandsons seem to like their new school and the friends they have made.

Barrington is an exceptional school by every measure. The teachers are involved and active, and the new principal and leadership are strong and committed. Families are active and involved and the school feels like a community. We love it at Barrington and could not imagine a better environment for our child.

Unless you do not mind your child being lost in the crowd, this is not a good school. We moved here for the school but are sorely disappointed. The leadership exhibited by the principal, Pam Yoder, may be largely to blame. Many of the teachers are second rate. This school is not at all what we expected.

The principal is busy and does not get out among the parents or students. Some of the teachers are not good. Some are excellent. The first grade teachers are among the worst we have experienced. We are looking at private schools for this very reason. We have a gifted student who has been left to his own devices all day at school. I would seriously reconsider this schollif at all possible.
