Bladenboro Middle excels in 5th and 8th grade science proficiency, but struggles in math and reading compared to the district and state. West Bladen High has a diverse student population and mixed academic performance, with some subjects above the district average and others below.

However, the relatively low student-teacher ratios at the elementary and middle school levels present opportunities for more individualized attention and targeted interventions to help improve student outcomes in this high-need community.
