Q: Is Barrington Middle School a good school?

Barrington Middle School ranks 357 th of 1196 Florida middle schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 4 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Barrington Middle School is a public middle school located in Lithia, Florida, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 1,434 students. The school is part of the Hillsborough County School District, which is ranked 45th out of 68 districts in Florida and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Barrington Middle School consistently outperforms the Hillsborough County and Florida state averages in various standardized test scores, with 82% of students proficient or better in EOC/Algebra 1 and 97% proficiency in EOC/Geometry, significantly higher than the county and state averages. However, the school has seen an increase in chronic absenteeism, reaching 24.5% in the 2022-2023 school year, though it still performs better than some nearby schools like Giunta Middle School (53.0% chronic absenteeism) and Turkey Creek Middle School (39.4%). Barrington Middle School also has a relatively diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 47.98% White, 9.97% African American, 30.33% Hispanic, and 4.18% Asian, which is higher than some nearby schools like Randall Middle School, which has a student population that is 65.37% White.

While Barrington Middle School outperforms the Hillsborough County and Florida state averages in many academic metrics, it is interesting to note that some nearby schools, such as Bell Creek Academy and Randall Middle School, also demonstrate strong academic performance. Additionally, the increase in chronic absenteeism at Barrington Middle School is a concerning trend that the school and district should address, as this issue is not unique to Barrington Middle School but is seen in many nearby schools as well.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
