Summary:
The 27406 zip code area of North Carolina is home to two high schools: Southeast Guilford High and Southern Guilford High, both part of the Guilford County Schools district. While the schools share a similar 4-year graduation rate of 87.7%, Southeast Guilford High appears to be the stronger performing school, ranking 363 out of 641 North Carolina high schools compared to Southern Guilford High's ranking of 526.
Southeast Guilford High outperforms Southern Guilford High across most end-of-course (EOC) exams, with higher proficiency rates in Biology, English II, Math I, and Math III. Additionally, Southeast Guilford High has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (50.65%) compared to Southern Guilford High (99.25%), suggesting it serves a more economically diverse student population. Despite Southern Guilford High's higher spending per student ($9,712 vs. $9,360) and slightly lower student-teacher ratio (14.7 vs. 15.8), these factors do not appear to translate into better academic outcomes for the school.
Overall, the data indicates that Southeast Guilford High is the stronger performing high school in the 27406 zip code area, with higher academic achievement and a more balanced student population in terms of socioeconomic status. While both schools share a similar graduation rate, the significant differences in test scores and statewide rankings suggest that Southeast Guilford High is better equipped to support student learning and success.
