Guilford County Schools Among the Nation’s Top 100 Schools

The Early College at Guilford is one of the nation’s top 100 high schools, according to a new annual survey by the U.S. News & World Report. The national magazine also recognized Weaver Academy with an honorable mention.

The Early College at Guilford ranked 17th on the list of America’s top 100 high schools and received U.S. News’ Gold Medal status.

The Early College at Guilford was one of only two North Carolina high schools ranked in the top 100. The rankings are based in part on the magazine’s college readiness index, which measures how students master some college-level materials. Earlier this year, Newsweek magazine also named The Early College at Guilford one of America’s best high schools, ranking the school 21st in the nation.

U.S. News & World Report awards honorable mentions to schools that have achieved high levels of college readiness, but only partially met the state test performance criteria.
