Summary:
The 27301 zip code area in North Carolina is home to 4 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Guilford County Schools district. While the schools face challenges, such as consistently underperforming on state assessments and serving communities with high poverty levels, there are also some bright spots worth highlighting.
Madison Elementary stands out as a relatively strong performer, with 3rd-5th grade proficiency rates often exceeding the district and state averages, particularly in mathematics. This school also benefits from a low student-teacher ratio of 10.8, which may contribute to its better academic outcomes. In contrast, McLeansville Elementary has overall performance below the district and state averages, but its 3rd grade mathematics proficiency rate of 63% in 2024-2025 was a bright spot, outperforming the district and state.
The high school and middle school in the 27301 zip code, Northeast Guilford High and Northeast Guilford Middle, consistently underperform the district and state averages on academic measures, such as end-of-course and end-of-grade assessments. For example, only 18.8% of students at Northeast Guilford High were proficient in Math I in 2024-2025, compared to 34.4% statewide. However, the schools in this area serve communities with extremely high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 98.45% to 99.69%, indicating significant economic disadvantage that likely contributes to the academic challenges faced by these schools.
