Summary

Guilford eLearning University Prep is a small K–8 eLearning school in Greensboro, NC, serving roughly 284 students as part of Guilford County Schools, with an unusually low student-to-teacher ratio of 8.9 and an economically mixed student body—about 65% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, far below the 96–99% poverty rates seen at most nearby traditional elementary schools like Julius I Foust Elementary or Vandalia Elementary.

The school's performance has been highly volatile. After rising to the 48th percentile statewide in 2024–2025 with a 2-star rating, Guilford eLearning fell back to the 16th percentile and 1 star in 2025–2026. That latest drop is driven largely by sharp declines in elementary math and science: 3rd grade math proficiency sank to 21.4% versus a 66.4% state average, and 5th grade science fell to 15.4% compared with 67.7% statewide. Nearby Gillespie Park Elementary, located just 0.08 miles away and serving a far higher-poverty population, posted 45.2% in 5th grade science the same year. Middle school reading is a relative bright spot—6th grade reading exceeded both district and state averages—and the school's 2024–2025 subgroup results were genuinely strong, with African American students ranking in the 75th percentile among NC schools. However, that progress proved fragile, as the African American subgroup rank fell back to the 31st percentile in 2025–2026.

The extreme year-to-year swings in test scores suggest small grade cohorts and student mobility are heavily shaping results. Chronic absenteeism, a critical concern for any online school, has also been trending upward—from 23.4% in 2022–2023 to 28.6% in 2024–2025. Parents should interpret any single year of data cautiously and consider that this eLearning environment may produce very different experiences for elementary versus middle school students.

Thursday, February 17, 2022

I teach band and orchestra at this school. I've been blown away at what can be taught in the virtual environment!

The staff here are amazing. This is the 3rd school I've worked with and I can say firmly that this is an ALL STAR team that was brought together by our Administration. There is so much talent and drive from our staff. Close Quote
