Summary:
The Berlin School District in New Hampshire has only one elementary school, Berlin Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The school faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance and a high percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
Berlin Elementary School is ranked 181 out of 224 New Hampshire elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in Mathematics, Reading, and Science are consistently below the state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's Mathematics proficiency rate for all grades was 36%, compared to the state average of 42%. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 60.1% in the 2023-2024 school year.
Despite the small class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio of 9.6, the school has struggled to improve student outcomes. The data suggests that the school faces significant socioeconomic challenges that may be contributing to its academic performance. The school's declining statewide ranking, from 192 out of 237 elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 181 out of 224 in 2024-2025, indicates that it is not keeping pace with improvements in other schools across the state. Targeted interventions and support may be necessary to help Berlin Elementary School address these challenges and improve student achievement.
