Berne Union Local

The Berne Union Local school district in Ohio consists of two schools: Berne Union Elementary School and Berne Union High School. Both schools demonstrate strong academic performance, with students consistently scoring above the state averages on a variety of state tests.

Berne Union Elementary School stands out for its consistently high performance on state tests, with 3rd-6th grade students scoring well above the state averages in both Math and English Language Arts. The school has also maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past 3 years, ranking in the top 40-45% of Ohio elementary schools. In contrast, Berne Union High School demonstrates strong performance on end-of-course exams, with students scoring above the state average in subjects like American Government, American History, Biology, and English II. The high school also boasts an impressive 91.7% 4-year graduation rate, well above the state average.

While both schools have a predominantly white student population, the high school has a higher percentage of minority students and a significantly higher rate of free/reduced lunch recipients, suggesting potential socioeconomic differences between the elementary and high school communities. The district may also benefit from addressing the relatively high chronic absenteeism rates at both schools, particularly the high school, as this could be an area of focus to improve overall student outcomes.
