Summary:
The Greensboro Academy area in North Carolina is served by a single school—Greensboro Academy—which enrolls 777 students in grades K–8, meaning it covers both elementary and middle grades even though it is categorized as an elementary school. The school is an elite performer, ranking 43rd out of 1,492 schools statewide in 2025–2026 (97th percentile, 5 stars), after finishing 49th in 2024–2025 and 64th in 2023–2024. Its district/LEA, Greensboro Academy, also ranks 7th out of 246 North Carolina districts, placing it in the top 3 percent statewide.
Greensboro Academy outperforms the state in every reported subject, grade, and year, often by 20 to 35 percentage points. Across grades 3–8, average EOG math proficiency was 90.4 percent in 2024–2025 versus 57.0 percent statewide; reading was 84.9 percent versus 52.7 percent; and science (grades 5 and 8) was 92.8 percent versus 61.1 percent. The 2025–2026 results remained strong: math at 88.7 percent, reading at 86.0 percent, and science at 94.0 percent, all well above state averages. About 27 percent of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, the student-teacher ratio is 24.2 to 1, and chronic absenteeism is just 6.9 percent compared with a 24.2 percent statewide average—an exceptional attendance profile.
Middle-school math stands out as a signature strength. In 2024–2025, eighth-grade math proficiency reached 100 percent, a stunning 51-point advantage over the state average, and seventh-grade math hit 93.1 percent proficiency in 2025–2026. Upper-grade reading and science are also outstanding, with eighth-grade science at 95.1 percent and eighth-grade reading at 92.7 percent. The relative soft spot is early literacy: third-grade reading proficiency was 78.6 percent in 2025–2026 and 72.4 percent in 2024–2025—still far above state averages but lower than the school's other grade-level results. Overall, Greensboro Academy combines elite academics, three straight years of ranking improvement, and very low chronic absenteeism, making it one of North Carolina's premier schools.
