Guilford Preparatory Academy is a Title I public charter elementary school that is part of the Guilford Preparatory Academy school district, located in Greensboro, NC with about 254 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 8th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education.
