GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

The Early College at Guilford is a school that pushes students to higher limits and like-minded peers will only support your goals and motivate you to work harder. The teachers are understanding, and the small student to teacher ratio allows for more personal connection and the student body's family-like bond makes school enjoyable.

The early college at Guilford has been an incredible opportunity for me. It allows me to see what being in college is like before ever actually applying to a single institution.

I like the teachers and staff that are there as their teaching styles are very helpful. The tight-knit community allows me to focus more on studying. Having such brilliant students beside me is extremely motivating.

This school hands down has the most knowledgeable and motivated students and teachers in the county. No debate. But I can't give this school a good review when they fail to help underclassmen have a balanced life and waste time being sticklers about rules they don't respect themselves (tardiness, la...
