Summary

Berkshire Elementary is a K–4 school in Burton, Ohio, enrolling 517 students as part of Berkshire Local, in a northeast Ohio region that also includes several much higher-ranked suburban districts. In 2025–2026 the school ranked 722 of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools (54th percentile, 3 stars), while its district ranked 301 of 773 (61st percentile, 3 stars). Berkshire has climbed from the lower third of Ohio elementary schools in 2017–2019 to around the state median, though it has not yet returned to its 2021–2022 peak.

Academically, Berkshire is above the state in Grade 3 but below it in Grade 4. In 2025–2026, Grade 3 math was 78.3% versus the state's 62.1%, and Grade 3 ELA was 69.8% versus 63.4%; Grade 4 math was 64.8% versus 67.3%, and Grade 4 ELA 58.3% versus 61.8%. Nearby comparisons show the range: Robert C. Lindsey Elementary School in West Geauga Local scored far higher (Grade 3 math 93.9%, ELA 92.1%), as did Parkside Elementary School, Gurney Elementary School, Timmons Elementary School, and Chardon's Park Elementary School and Munson Elementary School. Berkshire is more competitive with Cardinal Elementary School and Crestwood Primary School, finishing slightly higher in Grade 3 math than both but behind Cardinal in Grade 4.

Chronic absenteeism is a clear strength: 10.1% in 2025–2026, down from 25.9% in 2021–2022 and below the district's 13.3%. About 35.2% of students qualified for free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025 — more than the highest-performing nearby districts, but less than Crestwood, Cardinal, and Mesopotamia. Subgroup results are uneven: female and low-income students rank at or above the school overall, while male and special education students rank below, with special education falling to the 27th percentile after sitting in the 69th–71st range in 2023–2025. The main opportunities are Grade 4 achievement, Grade 3 ELA relative to nearby peers, and continued subgroup support.
