The Berlin Borough School District in New Jersey is home to a single elementary school, Berlin Community School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. The school's performance on standardized tests varies across subject areas, with strong results in Algebra I but relatively lower proficiency rates in Mathematics and Science.
Berlin Community School's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 644th out of 1,338 New Jersey elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 705th out of 1,347 in 2024-2025.

The school has a relatively low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 16.9% in 2023-2024, and a student-teacher ratio of 10.9 for the same school year. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9% in 2023-2024 is an area of concern that may impact student learning and academic achievement. Overall, Berlin Community School appears to be a relatively strong-performing elementary school, with standout performance in Algebra I, but with room for improvement in Mathematics and Science.
