Summary:

The Perquimans County Schools district in North Carolina consists of 4 schools: 2 elementary schools (Perquimans Central and Hertford Grammar), 1 middle school (Perquimans County Middle), and 1 high school (Perquimans County High). The district faces significant challenges, particularly related to high poverty levels, but also highlights potential areas of strength.

Hertford Grammar stands out as a top-performing elementary school, consistently ranking among the top 50% of North Carolina elementary schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Perquimans County Middle has also maintained a 3-star rating and ranked in the top 50% of North Carolina middle schools, while Perquimans County High has struggled, with a graduation rate slightly below the state average.

The district as a whole faces significant economic challenges, with all four schools having extremely high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 99.18% to 99.25%. This high level of economic disadvantage likely has a substantial impact on student learning and achievement. However, the data also suggests potential funding disparities within the district, as per-student spending varies from $10,302 at Hertford Grammar to $13,229 at Perquimans County High. Addressing these inequities and identifying best practices from the higher-performing schools could help the district improve overall academic outcomes for its students.
