Summary

Summerfield Elementary is a K–5 public school in Summerfield, NC, serving 584 students as part of Guilford County Schools. Despite the district's overall 2-star rating, Summerfield has earned 5 stars for ten consecutive years and finished 2025–2026 ranked #109 out of 1,492 elementary schools — the 93rd percentile statewide. Test scores tell the same story: the school outperforms Guilford County by 20–29 points and North Carolina by 13–26 points in every grade and subject, with 3rd-grade math at 85.9% proficiency and 5th-grade science at 90.4%.

Summerfield sits within a remarkable cluster of strong schools in northern Guilford County, though the nearby options differ meaningfully. Among traditional public schools, Oak Ridge Elementary (#24) and EP Pearce Elementary (#104) rank just ahead, while Stokesdale Elementary (#337), Claxton Elementary (#689), Jefferson Elementary (#937), and Guilford Elementary (#1,136) trail by wide margins. Summerfield also compares well to nearby charters: Summerfield Charter Academy (#50) and Greensboro Academy (#43) post similar reading and math scores, but Summerfield's student-teacher ratio is a much lower 15.9 versus 23.4.

Attendance and consistency round out the picture. Summerfield's chronic absenteeism rate of 14.7% is roughly half the Guilford County average of 29.2%, a meaningful advantage given how closely attendance tracks achievement. The school also posts unusually strong results across student groups — including top-1% statewide performance for its African American students in recent years and 80th–90th percentile results for low-income students. About one in four students qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, and Summerfield still outperforms the state by wide margins. The clearest opportunity for improvement lies with gifted students, whose relative outcomes in recent years trail the school's otherwise elite profile.
