Summary

Western Reserve Elementary School is a K–5 school in Berlin Center, OH, in the Mahoning County area, serving 270 students as the elementary campus of Western Reserve Local. It ranks 454th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools (71st percentile, 4 stars) in 2025–2026 — the lowest ranking and percentile in its entire ten-year record, down from a 2021–22 peak of 91st percentile and 5 stars. The school has never dropped below 4 stars, and from 2015–16 through 2024–25 it held steady between the 80th and 91st percentile.

Math is the school's clear signature strength: 3rd grade at 82.1%, 4th at 84.8%, and 5th at 80%, each running roughly 17–21 points above the state average, and proficiency has stayed in the 80–94% range at every grade for four straight years. The student-to-teacher ratio of 15.8 is among the best in the comparison group — far ahead of C H Campbell Elementary School (20.4) and Reilly Elementary School (23.8) — and improved from 20.5 two years earlier. Chronic absenteeism, at 10.9%, is 3.2 points below the district's 14.1% and better than Austintown, Salem, Jackson-Milton and West Branch, though above South Range Elementary School (6.4%).

Two results explain most of this year's slide: 5th grade science at 56% (below the 62.7% state average, and down 34 points from 90.2% in 2022–23) and 4th grade ELA at 65.2%, down from 77.6% and 78.8%. Both look like specific grade-level cohorts rather than a schoolwide problem, and Western Reserve still outperforms Jackson-Milton Elementary School, Austintown Intermediate School and B L Miller Elementary School in 5th grade math. But the low-socioeconomic-status subgroup fell to the 46th percentile (2 stars) from the 80th two years ago — the sharpest concern in the data. Note that the school's free/reduced-lunch rate is suppressed, so it is unknown rather than zero.
