Berkmar Middle School

Q: Is Berkmar Middle School a good school?

Berkmar Middle School ranks 411 th of 588 Georgia middle schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Berkmar Middle School is a public middle school located in Lilburn, Georgia, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 1,084 students. The school is part of the Gwinnett County School District, which is ranked 65 out of 203 districts in Georgia and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Berkmar Middle School consistently outperforms the Gwinnett County and Georgia state averages in Algebra I and Biology end-of-course exams. For example, in 2023-2024, 87.1% of Berkmar students were proficient or better in Algebra I, compared to 53.5% in Gwinnett County and 44% statewide. However, the school's overall academic performance lags behind some of the nearby schools, such as Duluth Middle School, Shiloh Middle School, and Trickum Middle School, in Milestones Assessments. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Berkmar Middle School, ranging from 85.44% to 89.21%, suggests that the school serves a predominantly low-income population, which may contribute to the lower overall academic performance.

Berkmar Middle School has seen an increase in spending per student, from $8,439 in 2016-2017 to $9,666 in 2018-2019, which is higher than the state average. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.6 to 15.6 over the past few years, which may be a positive factor in supporting student learning and achievement, especially given the school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
