Welcome to GCS, where we strive to ensure we provide the best educational opportunities for each of our students.
Thank you for choosing Guilford County Schools!
Each student enrolled in Guilford County Schools is assigned to an elementary, middle or high school in one of four ways:
1) based on the attendance are in which the student's parent(s) or court-appointed guardian/custodian resides,
2) through application to a magnet or high school option program,
3) through the reassignment process as detailed in Board of Education policy JBCC, or
4) through compliance with federal laws.
Student assignment is based on the following guidelines:
Domicile of parent(s) or court-appointed guardian/custodian (where you live)
Discovery and development of individual student's gifts and talents
Parent choice of the appropriate educational program for the child
Efficient use of facilities
Determination by school staff that student meets the criteria of homeless children and youth as defined by the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act of 2001
