Jamestown
I have lived in Jamestown for the past 12 years and would not live anywhere else in the county. Both of my children attended JMS and Ragsdale and while not perfect, I also would not let my children go to school anywhere else (except maybe the new Northern district - except is way too far out for me). I also lived in Adams Farm when we first moved here. I liked Adams Farm just ok. Great at first - easy for my children to make friends, but high neighborhood turnover, small lots, etc. If I had known about Forestdale East before we bought, thats where I would have gone. The homes are older,don't all look a like, lot sizes much larger and very stable neighborhood. I would alos look at Cedarwood, Jamesford Meadows, and Morris Farms (although these neighborhoods go to the SW schools - also good). With regard to the schools - no school is perfect (I also teach at an alternative HS in Guilford county), but both JMS and Ragsdale have a great deal of parent support and offer 1st class educations. My oldest child is now in law school and my youngest is a sophomore at Elon. Jamestown is very small and enables people to feel a part of the community. It is close to both GSO and High Point for shopping, etc., but feels small and tightknit. We love it here!
