Summary:

The 27847 zip code is home to a single elementary school, West Bertie Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with 194 students. The school is part of the Bertie County Schools district, which is ranked 166 out of 242 districts in North Carolina and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

West Bertie Elementary's academic performance, as measured by test scores, is generally lower than the Bertie County Schools district and the state of North Carolina, particularly in reading and science. The school's math proficiency rates are also lower than the district and state, except for 4th-grade math in 2024-2025. Additionally, the school has a very high rate of free/reduced lunch recipients at 98.45%, indicating that it serves a predominantly low-income student population.

Despite the school's relatively high spending per student ($11,738) and low student-teacher ratio (14.6), these investments do not seem to be translating into higher academic achievement. The data suggests that West Bertie Elementary is a struggling school that could benefit from further analysis and targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.
