Summary:
The city of New Berlin, Wisconsin is home to a strong school district, the New Berlin School District, which operates 7 schools - 5 elementary schools, 2 middle/high schools, and no alternative schools. The district is ranked 29th out of 426 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Two schools stand out in the district - Eisenhower Middle/High School, ranked 3rd out of 415 Wisconsin high schools with exceptional test scores and a 91% graduation rate, and Ronald Reagan Elementary, ranked 23rd out of 1,044 Wisconsin elementary schools with similarly high academic performance. Both schools have low percentages of free/reduced lunch recipients, indicating a student population from higher socioeconomic backgrounds.
In contrast, Hoover Elementary, which is part of the West Allis-West Milwaukee School District, stands out as an underperforming school compared to the New Berlin schools, with much lower proficiency rates and a higher percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients. This highlights the significant role that district-level factors can play in shaping school-level outcomes.
