Summary

Windsor Elementary serves 336 students in grades PK-5 in the rural town of Windsor, NC, as part of Bertie County Schools. Despite 99.1% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, the school ranks in the 46th percentile of North Carolina elementary schools — well above its district's 33rd percentile and the strongest elementary school in Bertie County.

Windsor's most encouraging results come from the student groups that make up nearly all of its enrollment. For three straight years, the school has earned a 4-star subgroup rating for African American students, placing in the top quarter of North Carolina schools serving that population. Low-income students also earned a 3-star rating this year, ranking in the 67th percentile statewide. Attendance has improved sharply, with chronic absenteeism dropping from 40.1% in 2020-2021 to 26.9% in 2024-2025 — now below the district average. In 5th grade math, 79.4% of students scored proficient, a result 16.5 points above the state average and far ahead of most nearby schools.

The clearest concern is 4th grade math, where only 35.3% of students are proficient versus 68% in 3rd grade and 79.4% in 5th grade — a gap much larger than typical. Reading scores are mixed but generally close to state averages. Compared with its neighbors, Windsor outperforms Washington County Elementary and E J Hayes Elementary, which serve similar communities, while Williamston Primary and Rodgers Elementary rank higher. Overall, Windsor is a resilient school that has recovered well from the pandemic and continues to show that high-poverty schools can deliver strong results.
