District-Level NCES Analysis

The school portfolio breaks down into 1 other, 1 elementary schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 525 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Camden County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $35,565 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 58.5% local, 35.6% state, and 5.9% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. Average teacher compensation clocks in at $127,899 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 81/100, ranked #24 of 587 in New Jersey against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Barrington School District-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: other. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.
