Summary

Berlin Senior High School is a public school serving grades 9–12 and 303 students in Berlin, a smaller northern New Hampshire community. The school is part of the Berlin School District and offers a more sizable student population than nearby Gorham High School and Groveton High School. Berlin’s 2025–2026 statewide ranking is near the bottom of New Hampshire, while both nearby schools rank around the middle of the state.

The most important academic concern is proficiency. In 2025–2026, 11% of Berlin students were proficient in mathematics, 39% in reading, and 14% in science. Each result was lower than the state average and lower than the corresponding results at both nearby schools. Reading is Berlin’s strongest tested subject, but its performance has recently declined from 52% proficiency in 2023–2024. Mathematics and science have been persistently weak over several years, suggesting challenges that extend beyond a single testing cycle. Graduation outcomes are also uneven: 78.3% of students graduated in 2024–2025, compared with 87.0% statewide, 90.9% at Groveton, and 97.1% at Gorham.

There are encouraging signs as well. Berlin’s dropout rate fell substantially, from 16.4% in 2022–2023 to 5.0% in 2024–2025, although it remains above the statewide rate of 2.3%; both comparison schools reported 0.0%. Berlin also has the most favorable student-teacher ratio of the three schools, at 8.1 students per teacher, and its special education subgroup ranked around the statewide middle in 2024–2025—much stronger than its overall ranking. These strengths could support more targeted help with attendance, credit completion, ninth-grade transition, mathematics, science, and on-time graduation.
