Best Public Schools in Windsor, NC


Summary:

The city of Windsor, North Carolina is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, with a predominantly African American student population facing significant economic challenges. The standout school in this area is Bertie Early College High, which consistently ranks among the top high schools in the state and outperforms the district and state averages on standardized tests. In contrast, the other schools in the Bertie County Schools district struggle to meet state benchmarks, with proficiency rates as low as 14% in some subjects.

Despite the high spending per student, which exceeds the state average, the overall academic performance of the schools in Windsor is concerning. All four schools have extremely high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student populations. This suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution, and that other factors, such as teacher quality, curriculum, and school leadership, likely play a crucial role in improving educational outcomes.

The racial makeup of the student populations, with a predominance of African American students, highlights the need to address potential equity and opportunity gaps that may be contributing to the overall low performance of the schools in Windsor. The success of Bertie Early College High, however, suggests that the early college model may be an effective approach for improving student outcomes in this area, and could serve as a model for the other schools in the district.
