Summary

Bertie High is a public high school located in Windsor, North Carolina, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 478 students. The school is part of the Bertie County Schools district, which is ranked 166 out of 242 districts in the state and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Bertie High has consistently ranked in the bottom half of North Carolina high schools, with a 1-star or 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating very low performance compared to other schools in the state. The school's test scores are significantly below state and district averages across all subject areas, and its four-year graduation rates have ranged from 86.4% to 89.2%, slightly below the state average of around 87%. Additionally, Bertie High has an extremely high percentage of students (over 99%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a very high level of poverty among the student population.

In comparison, nearby schools in the Wayne County Public Schools district, such as Wayne Early/Middle College High and Wayne School of Engineering, have much higher test scores, graduation rates, and overall rankings. The data suggests that significant interventions and support may be needed to improve student outcomes at Bertie High, and addressing these challenges will likely require a multi-faceted approach involving the school, district, and community stakeholders.
