Best Public Schools in Zip Code 27944

Summary:

The 27944 zip code area is home to two schools - Perquimans County High School and Hertford Grammar School, both part of the Perquimans County Schools district.

Hertford Grammar School stands out as a high-performing elementary school, consistently scoring well above the state average on 5th-grade standardized tests in mathematics and science. The school is ranked in the top 30% of North Carolina elementary schools and boasts a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.2. In contrast, Perquimans County High School has been underperforming, with proficiency rates below the state average in most subject areas and a declining statewide ranking, from 311 out of 621 high schools in 2021-2022 to 410 out of 640 in 2023-2024.

While Perquimans County High School spends more per student ($13,229) compared to Hertford Grammar ($10,302), the elementary school has a higher percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients (66.15%) than the high school (58.69%). This suggests that socioeconomic factors may play a role in the academic performance gap between the two schools. Further investigation into the factors driving these differences could help inform strategies to support and enhance the educational outcomes for all students in the district.
