Summary

Berkshire High School in Burton, OH, serves 437 students in grades 9–12 as part of Berkshire Local, which is ranked 301st of 773 Ohio districts; the school ranked 261st of 795 Ohio high schools in 2025–2026, placing it in the 67th percentile with 3 stars. After a dip to 411th of 864 in 2023–2024, it improved to 285th of 855 and then 261st of 795, though it was stronger earlier at 126th of 800 in 2017–2018. In 2025–2026 it beat state averages in every reported End-of-Course subject but trailed the high-performing nearby districts—Chagrin Falls High School, Kenston High School, West Geauga High School, and Chardon High School—in all core subjects, with the largest gaps in math.

Graduation is a clear strength: 98.2% in 2025–2026, higher than Chardon High School, Chagrin Falls High School, Kenston High School, Cardinal Junior/Senior High School, and Crestwood High School, and essentially tied with West Geauga High School; only tiny Bloomfield High School reported higher at 100.0%. Chronic absenteeism improved from 36.0% and 36.8% in 2021–2022 and 2022–2023 to 18.9% in 2025–2026, better than Cardinal Junior/Senior High School, Chardon High School, Crestwood High School, Bloomfield High School, and ACE Community Academy but higher than Kenston High School, Chagrin Falls High School, and West Geauga High School—and above the 13.3% district average. Subgroup effectiveness is notable for male students (79th percentile), low-SES students (72nd), special education students (63rd), and gifted students (86th in 2024–2025), while female students were closer to average at 52nd.

Mathematics has improved dramatically: Algebra I proficiency rose from 21.2% in 2022–2023 to 36.8%, 52.2%, then 70.9% in 2025–2026, and Geometry rose from 31.4% to 37.9%, 52.6%, then 52.9%; Algebra I still trails the district average, but the school-vs-district gap narrowed from 13.7 to 6.3 points. Berkshire appears resource-efficient, spending $10,248 per student in 2018–2019—the lowest among nearby comparables—with a 21.5 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025, essentially tied with Chardon High School for the highest, yet it beats state proficiency and posts a 98.2% graduation rate. Against more similar rural peers, results are mixed: Cardinal Junior/Senior High School outperformed Berkshire in Biology, American History, Geometry, and Algebra I, while Berkshire was stronger in English II; Crestwood High School was more similar, with Berkshire leading in Government, History, and Geometry and Crestwood leading in Biology and English II.

What people are saying

by a parent
Wednesday, January 15, 2020

The school has a terrible music program and the athletic department leaves a lot to be desired. The academics are hit and miss, with a fair number of bad teachers. It seems there are a decent portion of the students who wish they could go to school somewhere else. There is just something wrong with the atmosphere of the school which is spotlighted by the unfortunate number of student suicides the last four years. Close Quote
