Summary:
The 27985 zip code is home to a single public middle school, Perquimans County Middle, which serves grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 365 students. The school is part of the Perquimans County Schools district, which is ranked 114 out of 242 districts in North Carolina and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Perquimans County Middle has consistently performed above the state average in mathematics and science proficiency, but its reading proficiency has been more mixed, with some grades performing above the state average and others below. The school's overall academic performance, as measured by its SchoolDigger ranking, has fluctuated between 292 and 324 out of 793-784 middle schools in North Carolina over the past three school years. The school's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $11,076, which is higher than the state average, and the student-teacher ratio is relatively low at 12.6.
One notable finding is the extremely high percentage of students (99.18%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. This resource allocation and focus on supporting the needs of the school's predominantly economically disadvantaged student body may be a contributing factor to its academic strengths, particularly in mathematics and science.
