Summary

Guilford Elementary is a public elementary school in Greensboro, North Carolina, serving 605 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Guilford County Schools district, which is ranked 142 out of 242 districts in the state.

Guilford Elementary has seen a concerning decline in its statewide ranking over the past several years, dropping from 699 out of 1,473 North Carolina elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 1,358 out of 1,490 in 2024-2025, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages in proficiency rates on End-of-Grade tests for Mathematics, Reading, and Science. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's Mathematics proficiency rates ranged from 25% to 52%, while the district and state averages were significantly higher, ranging from 53.8% to 64.1%.

While the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with African American and Hispanic students generally performing better than their White and low socioeconomic status (SES) peers, the school's performance for students with disabilities and gifted and talented students is particularly concerning, with rankings in the bottom 10-20% of North Carolina elementary schools. The nearby General Greene Elementary, Hunter Elementary, and Claxton Elementary generally perform better than Guilford Elementary on academic measures, suggesting that Guilford may be an outlier within the Guilford County Schools district.
