Summary

Berlin Middle School/High School is a public school serving grades 6-12 in the Berlin Central School District in Cherry Plain, NY. With 349 students, the school is ranked 587 out of 1,234 New York high schools and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Berlin Middle School/High School generally performs below the state average on standardized tests, with proficiency rates ranging from 40-57% in core subjects, the school does better than the district average in many areas. Its graduation rate of 84-90% is on par with the state, and its dropout rate of 1.8-4.9% is also comparable. However, the school faces challenges related to its relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 47.8-52.8% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Compared to nearby schools like Maple Hill Junior/Senior High School, Hoosick Falls High School, and Averill Park High School, Berlin Middle School/High School generally underperforms on academic measures. These schools also tend to have lower percentages of students from low-income backgrounds, which may contribute to their stronger performance. Addressing chronic absenteeism, which ranges from 31.5% to 37.5% at Berlin Middle School/High School, may be a key strategy for improving the school's overall outcomes.
