Summary

[Bertie Early College High](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/NC/schools/0036003149/school.aspx) is a very small public high school in Windsor, North Carolina, serving 99 students in grades 9–12 within the rural, high-poverty [Bertie County Schools](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/NC/district/00360/search.aspx) district. Despite nearly 97% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school ranks 100th of 662 North Carolina high schools for 2025–2026 — an 85th-percentile placement with a 4-star rating. It has earned 4 stars for four consecutive years, with rankings consistently in the 75th–87th percentile range.

The school’s academic results far outpace its district and the state. On English II, 95.2% of students are proficient, versus 40.7% across [Bertie County Schools](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/NC/district/00360/search.aspx) and 64.6% statewide. Math III proficiency is 96%, and even the lowest subject, Biology, sits at 75% — well above the state’s 58.5%. The most striking contrast is with [Bertie High](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/NC/schools/0036000101/school.aspx), a traditional school located just 0.06 miles away. [Bertie High](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/NC/schools/0036000101/school.aspx) serves a similar high-poverty population yet ranks in the 15th percentile with 1 star, and its proficiency rates trail by 34 to 67 percentage points across all four subjects. This suggests school model and programming make a major difference.

[Bertie Early College High](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/NC/schools/0036003149/school.aspx) is especially strong for student groups that are often underserved statewide: African American students rank 43rd of 450 high schools, and low-income students rank 71st of 620 — both in the top 10–15% in North Carolina. The school outranks every traditional comprehensive high school in its comparison group, including [Bertie High](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/NC/schools/0036000101/school.aspx), [Goldsboro High](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/NC/schools/0488000502/school.aspx), and [Southern Wayne High](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/NC/schools/0488001963/school.aspx), while performing alongside specialty schools like [Wayne School of Engineering](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/NC/schools/0488003010/school.aspx). Because the school is small, single-year scores can fluctuate — Biology proficiency ranged from 36% to 77% in recent years — and early college models often involve application or self-selection, so some caution is warranted. Still, the consistency and depth of these results are strong evidence of genuine academic strength.
