Best Public Schools in Berne, NY

Summary:

The Berne-Knox-Westerlo Central School District in Berne, New York, operates two schools: Berne-Knox-Westerlo Elementary School and Berne-Knox-Westerlo Junior-Senior High School. Both schools are performing well above state averages, with the elementary school ranking in the top 16% of New York elementary schools and the junior-senior high school ranking in the top 34% of New York high schools.

The Berne-Knox-Westerlo Elementary School stands out for its exceptional academic performance, with students significantly outperforming state averages in English Language Arts and Math across all grade levels. The school also has a relatively low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively affluent student population. In contrast, the Berne-Knox-Westerlo Junior-Senior High School has more mixed results, with 8th-grade Math proficiency lagging behind the state average, despite maintaining a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 88.6%.

While both schools in the Berne-Knox-Westerlo Central School District are performing well, the district may want to consider addressing the lack of racial diversity in the student population and exploring ways to further improve academic outcomes, particularly at the secondary level. Additionally, the higher spending per student at the junior-senior high school compared to the elementary school suggests a focus on supporting older students, but the district should ensure that both levels of education are adequately funded.
