Summary

Southeast Guilford High is a large traditional public high school in southeastern Greensboro, NC, serving 1,209 students in grades 9–12 as part of Guilford County Schools. The school currently ranks at the 44th percentile statewide with a 2-star rating, placing it squarely in the middle of North Carolina high schools. Nearly all students (99.75%) qualify for free/reduced lunch, so its results stand out among high-poverty schools in the region.

Among the traditional high schools closest to it, Southeast Guilford is the top performer. Its ranking beats Southern Guilford High (34th percentile), Providence Grove High School (31st percentile), and James B Dudley High (16th percentile). Southeast Guilford also outscored all three of those schools on Biology, English II, and Math III end-of-course exams in the most recent school year; Math III proficiency was 73.6%, compared with 55.7% to 66.5% at nearby schools. The biggest caution flag is Math I, where 30.8% of students scored proficient—well below the state's 42.1%, and one of the few measures where Southern Guilford High outperformed it with 40.7%. That gap between strong advanced math results and weaker foundational algebra results points to algebra readiness as the school's biggest academic lever.

Absenteeism is another area worth attention. The school's chronic absenteeism rate is 28.0%, much better than the 54.5% at James B Dudley High and somewhat better than the 30.5% at Southern Guilford High, but still above the state rate of 24.2%. Results for student subgroups are mixed: Hispanic students and students with disabilities have generally ranked in the middle-to-upper range statewide, while the multiracial subgroup's state percentile has dropped sharply from the 64th to the 3rd percentile over two years. Historically, the school's graduation rate has stayed above 93%, suggesting that most students who enroll at Southeast Guilford remain on track to earn a diploma. For parents considering a large neighborhood high school, Southeast Guilford offers a solid mix of rigor and support, with clear room for improvement in foundational math and attendance consistency.
