Summary

Berkley High School is a high-performing public school in Berkley, MI, serving 1,200 students in grades 7 through 12 within the highly ranked Berkley School District.

For parents, the headline is clear: Berkley High School delivers exceptional academic results. The school consistently ranks in the 85th to 93rd percentile statewide over the past decade, and its most recent ranking places it in the 91st percentile with a 5-star rating. Test scores tell a compelling story—74.5% of 11th graders are proficient in SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, and 40.8% are proficient in SAT Math, compared to state averages of 52.1% and 26.5%. The graduation rate is an impressive 94.8%, far above the state's 84.0%, and the dropout rate is just 1.0%. The school also achieves these results efficiently, spending $17,596 per student, which is in line with nearby Royal Oak High School ($16,590) and Clawson High School ($18,938).

When compared to its closest competitor, Royal Oak High School, Berkley holds a slight edge in overall state ranking (91st vs. 88th percentile) and outperforms in SAT Math proficiency (40.8% vs. 39.1%) and dropout rate (1.0% vs. 2.3%). However, one area of concern stands out: chronic absenteeism. At 28.2%, Berkley's rate is nearly identical to the state average (27.9%) and significantly higher than its own district average (17.8%). This is puzzling given the school's strong graduation and test scores, suggesting that while many students succeed, a substantial portion are missing significant instructional time. Additionally, subgroup data shows the school serves its students well overall, but there is room for improvement in supporting students from low socio-economic backgrounds, who rank in the 62nd percentile compared to the school's overall 91st percentile ranking.
