I go to Berlin Middle School and I really enjoy it. I'm a 6th grader and I really like my teachers and fellow classmates. I enjoy the school because they give us so many options to do things and the teachers teach us very good. I like BMS becasue Its a clean, friendly school where everywhere you turn there is someone nice to say 'hi' to.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Wisconsin used the Wisconsin Student Assessment System (WSAS), which includes the WKCE and WAA, to test students in grades 3 through 8 and 10 in math and reading, and in grades 4, 8 and 10 in language arts, science and social studies. The WSAS is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Wisconsin. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level. In private schools, only voucher program participants are tested.

Subgroup scores for each school are only reported for students who were enrolled as of the fall enrollment count. The All students score includes results for all students who took the test, regardless of when they first enrolled in the school.
