Bertie Middle

Summary:

Bertie Middle is a public middle school in Windsor, North Carolina, serving 425 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Bertie County Schools district, which is ranked 144 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bertie Middle faces significant academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom third of North Carolina middle schools with a 1-star rating. The school's proficiency rates in mathematics, reading, and science are well below the state averages, with only 18.5% to 39.3% of students scoring proficient or better. Notably, the school has a much higher percentage of African American students (around 83%) compared to the state average, and these students rank in the bottom 40% of middle schools in North Carolina. Additionally, white students and students with disabilities at Bertie Middle rank in the bottom 30% and bottom 10% of middle schools, respectively. With over 99% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the school faces significant challenges related to poverty, which can have a profound impact on student learning and academic outcomes.

While Riverside Middle, a school located approximately 17 miles from Bertie Middle, has a more diverse student population and slightly better academic performance, it still struggles with low proficiency rates compared to the state. Bertie Middle's consistent low performance over the past decade suggests that the school will need to implement targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of its student population and improve educational outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
