District Profile

OUR COMMUNITY
Barrington is a suburban, residential community with a population of 16,310, located ten miles southeast of the state’s capital city, Providence, Rhode Island. Located on Narragansett Bay in a state that boasts 400 miles of coastline, the town has the distinction of having the largest share of this waterfront with rivers, coves and estuaries that crisscross the landscape. In keeping with its bayside character, Barrington features beaches, public access points, and marinas that support an active fishing and boating community. The 14-mile East Bay Bike Path, which runs from Providence to Bristol, along with many public parks and playing fields offer additional recreational opportunities for town residents.  For more information, visit our town website.
