Barrington District 220 Schools

Barrington School District 220

Barrington Community Unit School District 220 was formed in 1973 as a consolidated unit, combining two elementary districts and a high school district into one unit that educates students from pre-kindergarten through high school. Located about 35 miles northwest of Chicago, Barrington 220 is geographically located in four counties: Cook, Lake, McHenry, and Kane. Barrington 220 has one high school, two middle school campuses for grades 6-8, eight elementary schools, and one early childhood center. South Barrington school children primarily attend Rose Elementary School, and both Prairie and Station Middle Schools as well as Barrington High School.
