Summary:
The city of Berlin, Wisconsin has one elementary school, Clay Lamberton Elementary, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The school is part of the Berlin Area School District.
Clay Lamberton Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Wisconsin elementary schools in recent years, with its performance on the Forward Exam, the state's standardized test, falling below the state average across multiple grade levels and subject areas. While the school's mathematics scores are slightly better than the state average, its performance in English Language Arts, social studies, and science lags behind. The school serves a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 56.8%, which may contribute to the academic challenges it faces.
Despite the school's above-average per-student spending of $12,246 for the 2020-2021 school year, its academic performance remains below the state average, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution. The school may need to examine how resources are being allocated and utilized to support student learning, as well as implement targeted interventions to address the unique challenges faced by its student population.
