Summary:
The Berlin School District in New Hampshire has only one elementary school, Berlin Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The school's academic performance is consistently below the state average in mathematics, reading, and science proficiency, and its ranking and rating have declined in recent years, indicating significant challenges in educating its students.
Berlin Elementary School has a predominantly white student population, with a high percentage (62.32%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student body. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 10.8 could be a positive factor, but it has not been sufficient to overcome the broader academic struggles. In the 2023-2024 school year, Berlin Elementary School ranked 202 out of 234 New Hampshire elementary schools and was rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, a concerning trend that warrants further investigation and intervention by the district and school leadership.
Overall, the data analysis reveals that Berlin School District is facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its elementary school students. The district and school leadership should consider targeted interventions and support to address the academic performance issues, particularly in the areas of mathematics, reading, and science, and to support the needs of the economically disadvantaged student population.
