Best Public Schools in Berkley, MA

Summary:

The Berkley school district in Massachusetts consists of two schools: Berkley Community School, an elementary school, and Berkley Middle School. While both schools outperform the state average on standardized assessments, Berkley Middle School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, ranking in the top 21% of middle schools in Massachusetts.

Berkley Middle School consistently exceeds state averages on MCAS Next Generation assessments for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across all grade levels. The school is ranked 104 out of 493 Massachusetts middle schools and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Berkley Community School, while still performing well, is ranked 287 out of 916 Massachusetts elementary schools.

Both schools demonstrate strong academic performance, with Berkley Community School outperforming the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics. However, Berkley Middle School's higher student-teacher ratio of 12:1 compared to 12.8:1 at Berkley Community School may contribute to its more exceptional academic outcomes. Additionally, Berkley Middle School's student population is less diverse than Berkley Community School, which may warrant further investigation into potential equity concerns within the district.
