Summary

Jamestown Middle is a Grade 6–8 public middle school in Jamestown, NC, serving 949 students as part of Guilford County Schools. In 2025–26, it ranked 396th out of 778 North Carolina middle schools, placing it at the 49th percentile statewide — the highest-ranked school among all nearby options, ahead of Allen Jay Middle, Wheatmore Middle, and Southwest Guilford Middle. The school has climbed from the 38th percentile in 2021–22 to its current position, a steady four-year recovery after a post-pandemic low.

Reading is Jamestown's academic anchor. Proficiency rises from 54.5% in 6th grade to 59.5% in 8th grade, meeting or exceeding state averages in every grade level. Sixth-grade math is also a bright spot at 63.3% proficiency, above the state's 59.2% average. However, math outcomes weaken as students move up — 7th grade falls to 51.8% and 8th grade to 47.1%, both below state averages. Science is another gap: 62.3% of 8th graders scored proficient versus 68.6% statewide, though the school does outpace its district. These patterns suggest a clear literacy strength, with math and science transitions between 6th and 7th grade deserving attention.

Chronic absenteeism improved from 35.5% in 2021–22 to 24.2% in 2024–25, matching the state average and running 5 points better than the Guilford County rate. Jamestown also posts strong outcomes for African American, White, Hispanic, English Learner, and low-income students — most ranking above the 50th percentile statewide. The most urgent concern is Special Education: outcomes dropped sharply from the 34th percentile in 2024–25 to the 9th percentile in 2025–26, an equity issue that warrants immediate investigation. Despite spending less per student than most neighboring schools, Jamestown outperforms larger-spending peers like Welborn Middle, making it a solid mid-range school with genuine momentum and clearly identifiable areas for improvement.
