Berea–Midpark High School

Berea-Midpark High School, which houses grades 9–12, was founded in 2013 as a result of the merger between Berea High School, founded in 1882, and Midpark High School, founded in 1959. The oldest part of the current structure, which originally housed Berea High School, was built in 1928, with several later additions. The old Berea High School was razed, and a new Berea-Midpark High School school was built on the same ground and opened in 2020. The Berea-Midpark High School athletic teams go by the nickname Titans and compete in the Southwestern Conference.

Berea–Midpark Middle School

Berea–Midpark Middle School was established in 2013 as part of the district's consolidation plan and houses students in grades five through eight. It is located in the building that was originally built in 1959 as Midpark High School. From 2013 to 2018, it was known as Middleburg Heights Junior High School for grades seven through nine.

Consolidations

Berea City Schools closed Parknoll, Smith, and Riveredge Elementary schools in 2011. Fairwood Elementary was demolished in 2009 to make way for a new elementary school, Grindstone Elementary. Fairwood's 850 students were transferred to Smith Elementary until the new 'combined' elementary school opened in 2011. Berea High School and Midpark High School were consolidated into one high school called Berea–Midpark High School for the 2013–2014 school year. The former Midpark High School was renamed the Middleburg Heights Junior High and housed the district's seventh to ninth graders until 2018. Ford Intermediate School, formerly Ford Middle School, included fifth and sixth graders until 2018. Roehm Middle School in Berea closed at the end of the 2012–2013 school year and was demolished. The property was converted to the district's athletic complex.
