Summary:
The city of Berlin, Wisconsin is home to three schools serving grades K-12: Clay Lamberton Elementary, Berlin High, and Berlin Middle, all part of the Berlin Area School District. The data reveals a mix of strengths and areas for improvement across these schools.
Berlin High School stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 91.0% and a low dropout rate of 1.3% for the 2023-2024 school year. The school also outperforms the district and state averages in 10th-grade ACT English Language Arts proficiency. In contrast, Clay Lamberton Elementary lags behind in Forward Exam proficiency rates, particularly in 3rd-5th grade English Language Arts and 4th grade Social Studies and Science. Berlin Middle School stands out for outperforming the district and state in 7th-grade Forward Exam English Language Arts proficiency and maintaining a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.8 for the 2023-2024 school year.
Across the district, there are challenges with attendance, as all three schools have relatively high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 17.7% to 17.7% for the 2023-2024 school year. Additionally, the elementary and middle schools serve a higher percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with free/reduced lunch rates of 56.8% and 55.44%, respectively, compared to 40.84% at the high school. These socioeconomic factors may contribute to the academic performance disparities observed within the district.
