Summary

New Berlin High School serves grades 9–12 and enrolls 256 students in New Berlin, Illinois, with nearby schools including several in the Springfield area. In 2025–26, SchoolDigger ranked it at the 79th statewide percentile and gave it four stars, fourth among the eight schools compared. Its clearest strength is ELA: 11th-grade proficiency was 67%, 17 percentage points above the state, and 10th-grade ELA was also well above the state. The most important takeaway is that ELA stands out, while performance is less consistent across math and science.

Compared with nearby schools and the state, New Berlin’s strongest results include 9th-grade science: 68% proficiency was 21 points above the state and highest among the five local schools with reported scores. ELA also ranked near the top locally, while 11th-grade math was a relative weakness: 39% was 1 point below the state and fourth among five local schools reporting results. Math was stronger in grades 9 and 10, where scores were above the state. Science varied by grade: 10th-grade proficiency was 51%, just 2 points above the state and below the local reporting-school average of 53%. Graduation was 90.3%, slightly above the state’s 89.8%; chronic absenteeism was 18%, below the state’s 24% and second-lowest locally. The school and New Berlin CUSD 16 had identical reported test scores.

Several same-test results improved from 2024–25 to 2025–26: 11th-grade ACT ELA rose 19 percentage points, ACT math rose 6, and 10th-grade PreACT math rose 18; 9th-grade ELA declined 6 points. SchoolDigger’s overall ranking increased from the 65th percentile in 2024–25 to the 79th in 2025–26. The 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 12.9, compared with a nearby-school average of 14.1. Also in 2024–25, 26% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, the second-lowest figure among six nearby schools with the same measure. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness ranking for White students was at the 49th percentile in 2024–25, below the school’s overall 65th percentile; for “Low Socio Economic Status Students,” it shifted from the 43rd percentile in 2022–23 to the 90th in 2023–24 and the 64th in 2024–25.
