Summary:

The 27265 zip code area is home to three high schools: Southwest Guilford High, T Wingate Andrews High, and Kearns Academy. These schools serve students in grades 9-12 and are part of the Guilford County Schools district.

Among the three schools, Kearns Academy stands out as the highest-performing, ranking 326 out of 641 North Carolina high schools and consistently earning a 2-3 star rating from SchoolDigger. Kearns Academy also outperformed the district and state averages in several end-of-course (EOC) test scores, particularly in Math I and Math III, and has the lowest student-teacher ratio at 9.2, suggesting a more personalized learning environment.

T Wingate Andrews High has the highest per-student spending at $12,901, compared to $8,584 for Southwest Guilford High and $14,695 for Kearns Academy. However, this higher funding does not necessarily translate to better academic performance, as T Wingate Andrews High and Southwest Guilford High generally performed below the district and state averages in EOC tests. This suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as school leadership, teaching quality, and student demographics, play a significant role in student outcomes.
