Chestnut Ridge Elementary School is the standout. It ranks 21 of 1,560 schools statewide for 2025–26 — 99th percentile, 5 stars, roughly the top 1.3% of ranked Ohio schools — after climbing from 94th (2023–24) and 65th (2024–25).

All 9 reported tests were above the state average in both 2024–25 and 2025–26, but only one (ELA grade 6 in 2025–26) was above the district average, showing it operates inside a very high-performing district. Its 2025–26 simple average was 75.8, versus 81.6 for the district and 62.1 for the state. Chronic absenteeism was 6.7%, free/reduced lunch 20.48%, and the student-teacher ratio 15.7.

In short, Berlin has one elite elementary school and one respectable above-state school.
