Best Public Schools in Greensboro, NC


Summary:

The city of Greensboro, North Carolina is home to 82 schools, including 47 elementary schools, 13 middle schools, 18 high schools, and 4 alternative schools. The schools in this area span a wide range of performance levels, with several standout high-performing institutions as well as lower-performing schools.

Some of the top-performing schools in Greensboro include Northwest Guilford High School, which is consistently ranked in the top 20% of North Carolina high schools, and Early College at Guilford and STEM Early College @ NC A&T SU, which are both ranked among the top 5 high schools in the state. These specialized schools have exceptional test scores, with 100% proficiency rates in Math III and Biology EOC. At the elementary level, Sternberger Elementary and Greensboro Academy also stand out with 5-star ratings and very high proficiency rates.

However, the data also reveals significant performance gaps between schools, with many of the lower-performing institutions serving higher percentages of minority and low-income students. Schools with the highest free/reduced lunch rates, such as James B Dudley High and Rankin Elementary, struggle the most academically. This suggests the need for additional support and resources to address equity issues within the Guilford County Schools district.
