Northwest Guilford High School registered the highest enrollment among Guilford County's 132 schools in the 2022-23 school year, welcoming 1,980 students.
North Carolina's public schools are facing a significant funding gap, with a per-student expenditure of $10,519 - well below the national average of $14,295.
