School History
Barrington Middle School-Prairie Campus is one of two middle schools in the Barrington 220 School District. Prairie Campus opened in 1992 along the southern border of Barrington. When it came to naming the school, many community members commented on how the plot of land looked like a savannah. Savannah almost became the building’s given name, until a Board of Education member noted the land was actually a prairie. The halls, walls and staff have embraced learners for more than 30 years and today Prairie Campus is known for its excellence in education, innovative programs and supportive community.

Fifty years later, voters approved a referendum to rebuild North Barrington at the same site. The new NBS opened to students in 1998.

Sunny Hill Elementary is one of eight elementary schools in the Barrington 220 School District, serving grades K-5. The school opened in 1954 as a K-8 school. At that time, the building sat on a hill surrounded by farms to the north, east and south. It is said Sunny Hill received its name from a family who was walking up the hill to school on a sunny day. Today, Sunny Hill serves as a hub in the Carpentersville community. Barrington 220’s Bilingual Parents Advisory Council (BPAC) holds its meetings and events at Sunny Hill. It is also a club site for the Boys and Girls Club of Dundee Township.

School History
The Barrington Early Learning Center is a free early childhood education program that serves at-risk preschool students ages 3 to 5 years-old in the Barrington 220 School District. The ELC qualifies prospective students through screenings offered throughout the school year in the areas of pre-academic skills, gross and fine motor skills, vision and hearing, social skills, and speech/ language. Students are placed according to their individual needs. When the original Early Learning Center opened in 1986, it was located at the former Woodland Elementary School in Carpentersville. The current state-of-the-art ELC building opened in Barrington in 2010, sharing a campus with Prairie Middle School. This proximity allows for a unique partnership between the two schools, in which the ELC benefits from service projects by Prairie students.
