Summary:
The zip code 62670 contains only one high school, New Berlin High School, which serves grades 9-12 and is part of the New Berlin CUSD 16 district. The school has an enrollment of 246 students and a student-teacher ratio of 12.4, which is lower than the state average.
New Berlin High School's academic performance is mixed compared to state averages. While its 4-year graduation rate of 89.0% is slightly above the state average, its proficiency rates in English Language Arts (48.5%), Mathematics (33.3%), and Science (42.4%) are all below the state averages. However, the school's 10th and 9th-grade PreACT Secure scores in ELA and Science are higher than the state averages, suggesting the school may be doing a better job of preparing students in the earlier high school grades. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% is relatively high, which could be a contributing factor to the lower academic proficiency scores.
Despite the school's lower academic performance compared to state averages, it spends $16,755 per student, which is higher than the state average. This suggests that factors other than funding, such as instructional practices, curriculum, or school climate, may be contributing to the school's performance. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 187th in 2022-2023 to 243rd in 2024-2025, indicating a potential need to investigate the underlying factors contributing to this performance decline.
