Summary

General Greene Elementary is a K–5 school in Greensboro's Guilford County Schools district enrolling 423 students. In the 2025–2026 school year, General Greene Elementary ranked in the 77th percentile statewide (342nd of 1,492 North Carolina elementary schools), earning a 4-star rating. This continues a strong pattern: since 2017–2018, the school has ranked between the 71st and 93rd percentiles, following a notable turnaround from its 53rd-percentile position in 2016–2017. Among close geographic neighbors, General Greene is the third-highest-ranked school behind Sternberger Elementary (96th percentile) and Brooks Global Elementary (78th percentile), while far outpacing closer neighbors like Irving Park Elementary (48th), James Y Joyner Elementary (21st), and Claxton Elementary (54th).

Academically, the school's early-grade results are its standout feature. In 2025–2026, 3rd grade math proficiency reached 88.2% and 3rd grade reading reached 77.9%, dramatically outpacing district and state averages, and 4th grade results are similarly strong. By contrast, nearby Morehead Elementary posted just 43.2% in 3rd grade math. General Greene also reports exceptionally low chronic absenteeism at 8.8%, compared to the district's 29.2%, and far better than neighbors such as Ceasar Cone Elementary (40.0%), Jefferson Elementary (24.5%), and John Van Lindley Elementary (24.8%). Outcomes for economically disadvantaged students and African American students rank in the 77th and 81st percentiles statewide, respectively, indicating strong results across student groups.

Remarkably, General Greene achieves these outcomes while spending less than most nearby schools — roughly $9,037 per student — suggesting strong efficiency. Its main challenges appear in the upper grades: 5th grade math (59.7%) and science (61.3%) dipped below state averages in 2025–2026, though prior cohorts scored much higher. The school also has a gap in serving its Gifted and Talented learners, who ranked in the 12th percentile statewide. Special education students, however, showed dramatic improvement, climbing from the 24th percentile to the 69th percentile over the past year. Nearly all students qualify for free/reduced lunch, but that reflects a district-wide reporting change rather than a sudden demographic shift. Overall, General Greene stands out as a sustained, efficient success story within Guilford County Schools.
