Summary

Clay Lamberton Elementary is a PK–5 school serving about 480 students in Berlin, Wisconsin, and is part of the Berlin Area School District. The district ranks 351st of 432 districts in Wisconsin (19th percentile, 1 star), while the school ranked 649th of 1,039 elementary schools in 2025–2026 (38th percentile, 2 stars) — above its own district but still below the state median. Its rank has slid from a 51st-percentile peak in 2020–2021 to 30th percentile in 2024–2025, then partially recovered to 38th.

Math is the clearest academic strength. Fourth-grade math has beaten the state average four years running (60.61% proficient vs. 52.87% statewide in 2025–2026), and fifth-grade math has also edged above state recently. Chronic absenteeism was 14.2% in 2024–2025, better than the district (18.0%) and the state (17.3%). One important context: 56.67% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch — the second-highest rate among nearby schools behind Redgranite Elementary (63.08%) and far above Oakwood Elementary (14.66%), Laconia Elementary School (19.21%), and Winneconne Elementary (20.41%), which makes direct comparisons less apples-to-apples. Per-student spending is $15,203, with a student–teacher ratio of 14.2.

English language arts, science, and social studies are weaker. Fifth-grade ELA is a particular concern (41.67% vs. 53.63% statewide), and third-grade math has trailed the state every recent year. Nearby schools rank much higher overall: Oakwood Elementary (91st percentile), Green Lake Elementary (89th), Winneconne Elementary (88th), Laconia Elementary School (85th), and Traeger Elementary (77th); only Redgranite Elementary (23rd) ranks lower. Attendance beats the state but is not a local advantage — every nearby school with reported data has lower absenteeism. Among student groups, male students and students in special education have improved markedly in effectiveness rankings, while female students slipped to the 28th percentile. Spending has risen from $12,441 in 2021–2022 to $15,203 without a rank breakthrough yet.
