Berlin Central School District

The Berlin Central School District in New York serves students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade across two schools - Berlin Middle School/High School and Berlin Elementary School. The district as a whole is ranked 519 out of 865 districts in New York and rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, suggesting average performance compared to other districts in the state.

Berlin Middle School/High School stands out for its relatively high graduation rate of 84.3%, which exceeds the state average. However, the school also faces challenges, with a 34.1% chronic absenteeism rate and some Regents exam proficiency rates below the state average, particularly in subjects like Physics and Algebra I. In contrast, Berlin Elementary School demonstrates strong performance on 3rd and 4th grade state assessments in English Language Arts and Math, with proficiency rates surpassing both the district and state averages.

Both schools serve a high-need student population, with over 50% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This may present unique challenges and require additional resources and support. The data also reveals fluctuations in the schools' statewide rankings and SchoolDigger star ratings over the years, indicating potential instability or inconsistency in performance. Overall, the Berlin Central School District appears to have a mix of strengths and areas for improvement, requiring a closer look at targeted interventions and strategies to support student success across all grade levels.
