Thousands of High School Graduations: A Grand Total of 14,300 Students Successfully Completed Their Education
In the heart of Germany, Berlin has witnessed another year of academic excellence as the Abitur exam results for 2025 were recently announced. The education administration has shared the evaluation with the German Press Agency, providing insights into the performance of Berlin's students.
A total of 14,373 students passed their Abitur exams out of 15,211 Berlin examinees, resulting in a pass rate of 94.5 percent, slightly higher than the previous year's 93.8 percent. Among these successful students, an impressive 489 achieved the top grade of 1.0.
The Education Senator of Berlin, Katharina Günther-Wünsch (CDU), praised the commitment of teaching staff and emphasised the importance of a good final grade. She stated that a top grade opens up the best opportunities for further education and life paths.
Notably, the top male Abitur student, with 891 points, hails from the Canisius-Kolleg, while the top female Abitur student, from the Jane-Addams-Schule vocational school, scored an impressive 899 out of 900 possible total points.
Interestingly, the average grade for Berlin Abitur students remained the same as in 2024 and 2023, with an average grade of 2.3. However, data for the Berlin-wide averages in 2022 and 2023, as well as direct comparison or trend analysis, are not available in the given results.
For those seeking a more comprehensive and official statistical overview on Berlin's Abitur averages, it is recommended to consult the Berlin Senate Department for Education’s official reports, statistical yearbooks or education monitoring agencies in Berlin, or the Kultusministerkonferenz (KMK) that publishes German Abitur statistics by state. These institutions typically publish annual Abitur statistics, including average grades and trends, allowing for detailed year-by-year comparisons and analysis of patterns such as grade inflation, subject-level performance, or cohort differences.
In a remarkable feat, the youngest Abitur student in Berlin, at just 14 years old, passed her exams with a 1.1 at the Hans-Carossa-Gymnasium.
The Berlin Abitur average grade for the German International Stream in 2024 is approximately 1.97, according to one source[1]. However, this refers specifically to the GIS context, not the entire Berlin state-wide Abitur average.
