Summary:
Berlin School District in New Hampshire has only one middle school, Berlin Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. The data reveals that this school has consistently underperformed compared to other middle schools in the state, ranking in the bottom quarter for the past three years and earning a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Berlin Middle School's academic proficiency rates in core subjects like Mathematics, Reading, and Science are significantly below the state averages across all grades. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's Mathematics proficiency rate was 20% compared to the state average of 42%, and its Reading proficiency rate was 31% compared to the state average of 55%. This poor academic performance is also reflected in the Berlin School District as a whole, which is ranked 148th out of 158 districts in New Hampshire and is also rated 0 stars.
The data suggests that the challenges faced by Berlin Middle School may be related to the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 46.34% in 2023-2024, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. However, the school does have a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.6 to 1, which could be a potential strength if leveraged effectively to support student learning.
