Summary:
The Berlin Central School District in New York serves students from grades K-12 across two schools - Berlin Middle School/High School and Berlin Elementary School. While the district as a whole is ranked 494 out of 874 districts in New York and rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, the individual schools show a mixed picture of performance and areas for improvement.
Berlin Middle School/High School has seen steady improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 671 out of 1,228 New York high schools in 2022-2023 to 587 out of 1,234 in 2024-2025, with its star rating increasing from 2 to 3 over that time. The school maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 7.6, below the state average, but its test scores generally lag behind the state average, with some exceptions like 8th grade science, several Regents exams, and 5th grade math. The school also has a 4.5% dropout rate and a 31.5% chronic absenteeism rate, areas that may require attention.
Berlin Elementary School has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, though its ranking has fluctuated, going from 1,045 out of 2,439 New York elementary schools to 1,271 out of 2,445 in 2024-2025. Like the middle/high school, the elementary school has a low student-teacher ratio of 7.1, but its test scores also generally lag behind the state average. Both schools have high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients, over 50%, suggesting a need to address socioeconomic challenges that may be impacting student outcomes.
