Best Public Schools in Cherry Plain, NY

Summary:

The city of Cherry Plain, New York has a single public school, Berlin Middle School/High School, which serves grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 360 students. The school has a predominantly white student population, with 96.94% of students identifying as white. While the school's academic performance on state assessments is mixed, with some grade levels and subjects outperforming the state average, there are areas for improvement, such as addressing the high chronic absenteeism rate of 37.5% and the declining statewide ranking from 376 out of 519 high schools in 2020-2021 to 671 out of 1,228 high schools in 2022-2023.

Academically, Berlin Middle School/High School has varying proficiency rates on the New York State Assessments, with 6th grade ELA and 7th grade Math outperforming the state, but 8th grade ELA and Science underperforming. The school also has a high four-year graduation rate of 92.4% and a low dropout rate of 1.8%. However, the school's spending of $24,790 per student is relatively high compared to the state average, and it would be important to analyze how these funds are being utilized to improve student outcomes.

Overall, Berlin Central School District, which operates the lone school in Cherry Plain, faces challenges in addressing the high chronic absenteeism rate and ensuring consistent academic performance across all grade levels and subject areas. The district may also need to explore ways to diversify its student population and provide more equitable educational opportunities for all students.
