Summary

Berry High School is a small, rural school in Berry, Alabama, serving 245 students in grades 7-12 within the Fayette County school district, where about 54% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Berry High School presents a mixed picture for parents to consider. The school's middle school grades (7th and 8th) are a genuine bright spot, consistently outperforming both district and state averages in math and English. For example, 7th-grade math proficiency reached 34% compared to the state average of 24.46%, and 7th-grade English hit 66% versus the state's 55.25%. However, this academic strength fades by 11th grade, where proficiency rates drop below state averages. There's also a significant gender gap: female students rank in the 77th percentile statewide while male students rank in the 11th percentile. The most concerning metric is the graduation rate, which collapsed from 90.3% in 2023-2024 to just 62.0% in 2024-2025—far below the district average of 87.7% and state average of 91.5%. Nearby schools like Carbon Hill High School and Oakman High School both maintain graduation rates above 96%, while Fayette County High School, just 13 miles away with similar demographics, boasts a 92.5% rate.

The school's performance has been volatile, swinging from a top-100 ranking in 2018-2019 to a 13th-percentile ranking in 2024-2025, then rebounding to the 48th percentile in 2025-2026. This instability is partly due to the very small cohort sizes—roughly 40 students per grade—where one challenging class can dramatically shift results. Berry spends more per student ($11,769) than nearby schools, yet outcomes lag behind peers like Northside High School, which ranks 29th in the state despite lower per-student spending. Chronic absenteeism (15.8%) also exceeds district and state averages. While the 2025-2026 test score rebound offers hope, parents should watch the graduation rate closely in coming years to determine if the 62% figure was an anomaly or a troubling trend.
