About 

Grove Avenue Elementary is one of eight elementary schools in the Barrington 220 School District, serving grades K-5. The school opened in 1954, as the “baby boom” took effect and more schools were needed in the Barrington area to accommodate the growing number of students. The school originally
served grades K-6. Since 1992, Grove staff members have made three visits to Washington, DC to accept the national Blue Ribbon Award.
