As a senior in high school now, I can say that Guilford Country Schools certainly is a good county and/or district to enroll your child in. Although it is not perfect, no school is, and I believe that Guilford County has a lot to offer to its students. Throughout the last few years, I have seen a distinct difference in my grades, as well as my overall well-being. The amount of work the staff at the Early Middle College at GTCC has implemented in its students is truly very admirable, as I have gone from being a C/D student to becoming an A/B student in only 2 years. My teachers have prepared me for future classes as well, making sure I truly understood each concept in their classes, which helped me to become more successful in my college classes. I truly am grateful for being a part of the program at the Early Middle College at GTCC Jamestown, and being a part of Guilford County itself. It truly is a blessing!
Guildord County is great for almost everything! However, their communication skills lack in general. It’s always last minute decisions and unreliable communication formats because it’s hard to hear back from someone sometimes. Other than that I have had no other negative experiences. Guilford County really prioritizes the success of students, and take really good care of the low-income families in the county. I attend Northern Guilford High School and I cannot really complain about any specific department of the school. I have had success with all of them, and my grades reflect it. They have all in all led me to expand my academic horizons to college with extra help programs, successful teachers, as well as a welcoming school environment.
Guilford County Schools' best trait is its diversity within the high school programs. GCS has one of the best STEM high schools in the nation, but it also has a fantastic school for the arts and IB program. Regardless of interest or aptitude, students can thrive. However, it must be noted that not all of the facilities are quite up to par. While the teachers do the best they can, a number of schools end up using recycled (and increasingly outdated) texts because the district can not afford to buy new textbooks. Additionally, most high schools operate (at least partially) in doublewide trailers that were not intended for long-term use, but have been in place for decades, anyways. Regardless, things have been improving over the years, which is why GCS is one of the best districts to receive an education in.
