Summary

Berkshire Elementary is a public elementary school located in Burton, Ohio, serving grades K-4 with a total enrollment of 526 students. The school is part of the Berkshire Local School District, which is ranked 317 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Berkshire Elementary generally performs above the state average in both Math and English Language Arts (ELA) for grades 3 and 4, with 75.9% of 3rd graders proficient or better in Math compared to the state average of 64.4%. However, the school's performance has been somewhat inconsistent, with some years seeing lower proficiency rates. The school performs particularly well for its Special Education students, ranking in the top 30% of Ohio elementary schools in this category. Unfortunately, Berkshire Elementary has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 14.2% in 2023-2024 to 18.0% in 2024-2025, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Compared to the higher-performing nearby schools, such as Westwood Elementary (West Geauga Local) and the Kenston Intermediate School (Kenston Local), Berkshire Elementary's performance is generally lower, with these schools having significantly higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates. However, Berkshire Elementary's spending per student ($11,598 in 2018-2019) is comparable to the nearby schools, and its student-teacher ratio of around 20:1 is similar as well, suggesting that funding levels and class size are not major factors in the school's performance.
