Best Public Schools in Kelford, NC

Summary:

The city of Kelford, North Carolina is home to a single school, West Bertie Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 and has a total enrollment of 192 students. The school is part of the Bertie County Schools district, which is ranked 144 out of 242 school districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

West Bertie Elementary stands out within the district for its strong performance on state-wide mathematics assessments, particularly in 3rd and 4th grades where proficiency rates exceed both district and state averages. However, the school's reading and science proficiency rates are lower in comparison. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 728 out of 1,502 elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 1,098 out of 1,514 in 2021-2022, indicating potential inconsistencies in overall performance.

With a predominantly African American student population (91.15%) and a high rate of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (96.88%), West Bertie Elementary faces significant socioeconomic challenges that may impact student learning. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15:1 suggests efficient resource allocation, but continued efforts to address areas of concern, such as reading and science proficiency, could help the school achieve more consistent and well-rounded academic success.
