Summary:

The zip code 27983 is home to a single middle school, Bertie Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 and is part of the Bertie County Schools district. While the school's performance is not among the top in the state, there are some notable elements worth highlighting.

Bertie Middle School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, going from 642 out of 793 middle schools in 2023-2024 to 540 out of 773 in 2024-2025, with a 2-star rating. The school's academic performance is mixed, with 6th-grade mathematics proficiency rates above the state average, but 7th and 8th-grade proficiency rates in both mathematics and reading falling below the state average. Additionally, 8th-grade science proficiency is below the state average.

Despite the school's lower academic performance, Bertie Middle School has a higher spending per student ($10,552) and a lower student-teacher ratio (11:1) compared to the state averages. This suggests that the school is investing resources in its students, but the impact on academic outcomes is not yet evident. The school also serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 99.2% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, which may contribute to the academic challenges the school faces.
