History The Barrington 220 School District is a preK-12 school district, located in the northwest suburbs of Chicago. The first Barrington school was a one-room schoolhouse, which opened in 1835. However, it wasn’t until 1973 that the Barrington 220 School District officially formed. Through the years, Barrington 220 has become a nationally recognized school district, known for its innovative curriculum, rich history and sense of community. As a unit district, Barrington 220 has the unique opportunity to see students’ education from the very beginning, until they graduate from Barrington High School.
