Summary

Johnson Street Global Studies is a K-8 school in High Point, NC, serving 389 students in the Guilford County Schools district, where 97.9% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. The school has made a striking climb in state rankings, rising from the 7th percentile in 2022–23 to the 47th percentile in 2025–26, placing it close to the state median and second among nearby Guilford County elementary schools, behind only Shadybrook Elementary.

The school's strongest results are in its early elementary grades. Third-grade math proficiency reached 68.9% in 2025–26, above both the district (62.4%) and state (66.4%), and roughly 18 points higher than the average of nearby schools. Fourth-grade math (69.4%) and reading (58.0%) also outpace district and state averages. Equally notable, English learners at Johnson Street ranked in the 96th percentile statewide in 2025–26 with five stars — a top-5% performance. Hispanic, African American, and low-income students each rank above the 50th percentile statewide, indicating gains are broad-based and not limited to a particular group of students.

The school's biggest challenge appears in the middle grades. Proficiency drops sharply beginning in 5th grade and continues to slide through 8th, where just 17.1% of students are proficient in math and 22.9% in reading — far below district and state levels. By comparison, Shadybrook Elementary, which serves a similarly high-poverty population, posts notably stronger 5th-grade results: 64.7% proficiency in math versus Johnson Street's 47.6%, and 51.0% in reading versus 35.7%. Johnson Street spends more per student ($13,870) than many nearby schools and maintains smaller class sizes, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 27.0% is better than most immediate peers. The central question now is whether the school can carry its early-grade success, particularly for English learners, through the upper grades.

Just the most disrespectful bunch of staff I have ever witnessed in my life. I feel for the children who must endure their immaturity everyday. Close Quote
