Summary

Berlin Elementary School is a K–6 school serving 332 students in Berlin, OH, a rural Holmes County community, and is the largest of the six elementary schools in East Holmes Local. It ranks 416th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools in 2025–26 (73rd percentile, 4 stars), within a district that ranks 88th of 773 statewide (89th percentile, 4 stars).

Measured against Ohio as a whole, Berlin looks strong: it beat the state average on all nine reported state tests, averaging roughly 76% proficiency versus about 62% statewide, and its sixth-grade English language arts score (80.8%) topped both its district and the state by wide margins. Fifth-grade science (80.6%) is essentially tied with the district and nearly 18 points above the state. But Berlin is the lowest-ranked of the five East Holmes Local elementaries, placing 9th of 11 nearby schools. Neighbors such as Chestnut Ridge Elementary School (99th percentile) and Walnut Creek Elementary School (94th) are among Ohio's top schools, and district peers average about 82% — roughly 6 points above Berlin. Berlin's rank has also drifted over the long run, from the 90th percentile in 2016–17 down to the low 70s, where it has largely leveled off.

Two areas stand out for parents. Attendance has improved dramatically, with chronic absenteeism falling from 15.6% in 2021–22 to 6.7% in 2025–26 — now well below the district's 10.5%. The clearest concern is the special education subgroup, which dropped from the 47th percentile to the 16th percentile (1 star) in a single year, the lowest effectiveness rating attached to the school. Berlin's student–teacher ratio is 15.7, and 20.48% of its students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.
