School History North Barrington Elementary is one of eight elementary schools in the Barrington 220 School District, serving grades K-5. The original North Barrington Elementary School opened in 1946, consolidating five one-room schoolhouses in the area. At the time of the school’s dedication, it was heralded as a “school for the motor age” because of special design features that accommodated students arriving by car and bus. Fifty years later, voters approved a referendum to rebuild North Barrington at the same site. The new NBS opened to students in 1998.

The current state of the art ELC building opened in Barrington in 2010, sharing a campus with BMS-Prairie. This proximity allows for a unique partnership between the two schools, in which the ELC benefits from service projects by BMS-Prairie students.
