Summary

Julius I Foust Elementary is a public elementary school in Greensboro, North Carolina, serving 186 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 and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending than the district average, Julius I Foust Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 15% of North Carolina elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on state standardized tests across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 21.6% of 3rd graders at Julius I Foust were proficient in reading, compared to 45% for Guilford County and 46.7% for the state. The school serves a predominantly low-income and minority student population, with 98-99% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years.

Interestingly, nearby schools in the Guilford County district, such as David D Jones Elementary, Guilford eLearning University Prep, and Cyrus P Frazier Elementary, generally perform better than Julius I Foust on academic measures, despite serving similar student populations. This suggests that the underlying factors contributing to the persistent underperformance at Julius I Foust Elementary may require further investigation and targeted interventions to improve educational opportunities and outcomes for the students.
