Summary

Southeast Guilford Middle is a traditional public middle school in Greensboro, NC, serving 826 students in grades 6–8 within Guilford County Schools. Compared with nearby middle schools, it sits in a relatively strong position, ranking 414th of 778 North Carolina middle schools at the 47th percentile. Only Lincoln Academy, Kiser Middle, and Jamestown Middle rank higher locally, while several nearby schools in the same district — including Jackson Middle, Allen Middle, Eastern Guilford Middle, Mendenhall Middle, and Southern Guilford Middle — fall in the state's bottom quarter. Like most local peers, Southeast Guilford's student population is predominantly economically disadvantaged, with free/reduced-price meal eligibility above 99%.

Southeast Guilford Middle's clearest strengths are 6th-grade math and 8th-grade science. On North Carolina's 2025–26 math test, 67.7% of its 6th graders scored proficient — 15 points above the district average and about 9 points above the state. In 8th-grade science, 67.2% of students were proficient, nearly matching the statewide rate of 68.6% and clearly beating nearby schools such as Jamestown Middle (62.3%), Southern Guilford Middle (50.9%), and Allen Middle (39.5%). Attendance is another positive: chronic absenteeism has fallen from 36.3% in 2021–22 to 26.5% in 2024–25, below Guilford County Schools' 29.2% and well under the 40%-plus rates at nearby Jackson Middle, Mendenhall Middle, and Otis L Hairston Senior Middle.

The most important concern is that proficiency declines as students progress through the grades. Math proficiency falls from 67.7% in 6th grade to 51.0% in 7th grade and 46.7% in 8th; reading follows the same downward pattern. Results also vary by student group, with relatively strong state-level rankings for African American students and lower rankings for multi-racial and gifted students in recent years. Overall, Southeast Guilford Middle is a solid mid-range school that clearly outperforms most schools in its immediate area, and improving the trajectory of students in 7th and 8th grade would give it a strong chance of climbing higher in state rankings.
