Original Research by School Decision on Page High
Page High is a mid-sized regular public high school in Greensboro serving grades 9 through 12. The enrollment sits at roughly 1,677 students, fairly evenly distributed across the four high school grades.
The student body is predominantly African American, followed by a substantial White population, with notable Hispanic and Asian enrollment and smaller numbers of students of other backgrounds. Nearly all students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, making this a school serving a student population with significant economic need.
State testing data and graduation rate information were not available for this school, so a parent cannot see how Page High's students perform on North Carolina's assessments or what share complete their diploma on time. The comparison data the state provides—proficiency rates, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism—do not appear to be reported at the school level. This is not unusual; some schools have missing data in public systems. A parent interested in these metrics should contact Page High or the Guilford County Schools district directly to discuss student outcomes and supports.
Greensboro itself is a mid-sized Piedmont city with a mixed economy centered on manufacturing, health care, higher education, and logistics, anchored by employers like Cone Health, VF Corporation, Honda Aircraft, and others. Downtown holds a compact business and cultural core with universities situated nearby or within the downtown zone, and the city is undergoing sustained residential growth, with housing development projects underway across multiple neighborhoods. The housing market in the 27405 zip code where Page High sits is moderately priced relative to national benchmarks, and rents are stable. The unemployment rate is steady, and median household income in the region is above the national median.
Guilford County Schools, the district that operates Page High, is in the midst of major facility transformation. Voters approved a substantial bond in 2022 to fund new school construction, rebuilds, and renovations across the district—work addressing decades of deferred maintenance. That bond campaign included a proposed sales tax that voters rejected, meaning more of the repayment will fall to property taxes, a consideration for families already living in or moving to the district. Additionally, the district adopted new math instructional materials district-wide in its middle schools and has aligned three key policies with state legislation around parental notification and curriculum content in lower grades.
Page High's location in Greensboro places students in a city with genuine downtown anchors, regional transit, and proximity to multiple colleges and civic institutions, though the school itself sits apart from the downtown core in a residential area. Whether this school's academic profile, supports, and community fit match a family's needs will depend on conversations with the school and district about student services, course offerings, and academic outcomes—information not visible in available public data.
