Summary

Edwin A Alderman Elementary is a public elementary school in Greensboro, North Carolina, serving 401 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.

While Edwin A Alderman Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of North Carolina elementary schools, the school's performance for certain student subgroups, such as African American and Hispanic students, is notably stronger than the overall school performance. This suggests the school may be doing a relatively good job of supporting the academic achievement of these historically underserved student populations. However, the school's overall academic performance on state assessments is generally below the Guilford County and North Carolina averages across grade levels and subject areas.

The school's high percentage of students (over 99%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch indicates a very high level of economic disadvantage among the student population, which is likely a key factor contributing to the academic challenges the school faces. Nearby schools in the Guilford County district, such as Morehead Elementary, John Van Lindley Elementary, and Pilot Elementary, generally perform better on state assessments and have higher rankings than Edwin A Alderman Elementary, though they also have similarly high percentages of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
