Summary

Guy B Teachey Elementary is a K-5 school serving 444 students in Asheboro, NC, and it stands out as the strongest elementary school within Asheboro City Schools. The school earned a 3-star rating and ranks at the 51st percentile statewide — right around the middle of North Carolina elementary schools — while the district overall holds just a 1-star rating and every other elementary school in the district ranks in the bottom quarter of the state. Guy B Teachey has seen ups and downs over the years, reaching the 80th percentile in 2017-2018, struggling some in the early 2020s, and stabilizing more recently.

Where this school really shines is math. Proficiency rates in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade math all run above the North Carolina state average — in 5th grade, 73.1% of students scored proficient compared to 62.9% statewide and just 52.7% across the district. Science scores are strong too, with 71.6% proficiency versus 67.7% across the state. Reading is the main area of concern: proficiency trails the state average by roughly 16 to 18 points in 3rd and 5th grades, and by about 5 points in 4th grade. The school does beat its own district in reading, but the gap with the state shows there is real room for growth in literacy.

This performance is especially notable because nearly all students (99.3%) qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and the school still keeps chronic absenteeism below the state average. Guy B Teachey outperforms its Asheboro-area peers — including Balfour Elementary, Charles W McCrary Elementary, Lindley Park Elementary, and Donna L Loflin Elementary — by hundreds of ranking positions. A few nearby schools in the Randolph County School System, such as Southmont Elementary and Tabernacle Elementary, perform at similar overall levels, with Southmont notably stronger in reading. For Asheboro families, Guy B Teachey offers a solid, math-focused option in a district where few other schools are performing near the statewide average.
