What a wonderful little school Nat. Greene is! I have taught in 5 schools in the course of my career and this is THE best! Our staff and parents work cooperatively to educate the total student. Our PBIS program teaches universal rules in the school. I love waking up every weekday to go to NG.....a place where respect and values go hand in hand and rigorous teaching and high standards are important!

This school is a hidden gem within gcs! It is a school that promotes reading, math and critical thinking skills. The students are so well behaved that actual learning can take place inside the classroom. My husband is amazed every time he visits. The EC staff is top notch as well. My child has shown strong, steady growth this year. That is all that I can ask from him and his teachers. The office staff and principal make me feel so welcome and are always available to answer any questions. Nathanael Greene does need a new facility but it is the teachers, staff and students that make it one of the best elementary schools in Guilford Co.

Great school! Wonderful teachers who really care. Hard to find in this world today. I wish the bonds we passed would have allowed more funds for Nat Greene. This is one of the oldest schools in the county and could really use improvements! The kids here, and the teachers and staff all deserve that.

I have two children here now, and a third will attend Greene soon. My wife and I have been very pleased with our childrens development at Nathanael Greene. Particularly with the strong start they both received in Kindergarten. Their teacher was exceptional. I hear people all over Guilford County talking about the level of parental involvement here. Ditto to everything in the posts prior to mine.

My oldest just graduated from this school, and my second child will be entering 3rd grade. This is an excellent school. Discipline still counts here as well as respect. Most teachers go the extra mile for their students. I personally experienced this with my second child who had some problems that are now under control. He is now excelling because of the teachers!!! Students will excell here, not only academically but also in their character.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 North Carolina used End-of-Grade (EOG) tests to assess students in grades 3 through 8 and 10 in reading and math, and grades 5, 8, and 10 in science. The EOG is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of North Carolina. Students must pass the grade 8 EOG test in order to graduate from high school. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level on the tests.
