While the majority of schools in the Barrington CUSD 220 district perform exceptionally well, there is some variation in test scores and other metrics among the elementary schools. Additionally, schools with higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch tend to have slightly lower performance metrics, suggesting that socioeconomic factors may play a role in student outcomes. The district's significant variation in spending per student, from $17,355 at Grove Avenue Elementary to $23,432 at Countryside Elementary, also raises questions about resource allocation and opportunities to optimize funding to support student success across all schools.
