Berne Union High School

Summary:

Berne Union High School is a public high school located in Sugar Grove, Ohio, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 378 students. The school is part of the Berne Union Local School District, which is ranked 361 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Berne Union High School has a predominantly white student population, with 92.59% of students identifying as white, significantly higher than the state average and the nearby Fairfield Career Center, which has a more diverse student body. The school consistently maintains high graduation rates, with a 100% four-year graduation rate in the 2021-2022 school year, well above the state average. Academically, Berne Union High School students generally perform better than the state average on Ohio State Tests, particularly in subjects like American Government, American History, and English II.

However, the school has experienced fluctuations in chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 10.4% in 2019-2020 to 30.8% in 2021-2022, an area that the school may need to address. Additionally, Berne Union High School has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 81.48% in the 2022-2023 school year, suggesting a relatively high proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. Exploring opportunities for collaboration with the more diverse Fairfield Career Center could provide valuable insights and learning experiences for both schools.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
