Founded in the 50s of the last century, the school was formerly known as the "School for the Children of Cadres of the 15th Corps of the Chinese People's Liberation Army" (commonly known as the "Bayi Middle School"), which was the last of the four schools for children set up by the Fourth Field Army in the Liberation War. In 1981, the middle school was first renamed as "Affiliated High School of Guangzhou Normal University", and then renamed as "Affiliated High School of Guangzhou University" (hereinafter referred to as "Guangzhou Affiliated High School" in 2001).

At present, Guangfu has developed into a large pattern of "one school and eight districts", covering a 15-year teaching system from kindergarten to high school. Before the University Town Campus was put into use in 2010, the Huanghua Road Campus included the Guangfu Junior High School and the High School, and the senior high school students who studied at the Huanghua Road Campus in 2017 were the last high school students on the campus. In the future, the Huanghua Road Campus will become the junior high school of the Affiliated High School, and the University Town Campus will become the high school.

In the 2017 high school entrance examination, Guangfu also achieved remarkable results. There are 19 students who score more than 750 points in the school headquarters, 287 people who score 698 points or more, and 483 people who score more than 622 points in the early approval control line. It is worth mentioning that compared with the results of the high school entrance examination, the results of the college entrance examination are more eye-catching, which is inseparable from the school's strict management and the educational policy of going straight to the theme of the college entrance examination. At the same time, the top students and outstanding students contracted by Guangfu Junior High School do not pay attention to the high school entrance examination, and go directly to the first year of high school in the third year of junior high school, which is also one of the reasons why the proportion of students with a score of more than 700 in the Guangfu High School Entrance Examination every year seems to be relatively low.

The Olympiad class and the curriculum reform class are the most favored by parents, and are listed as high-quality degrees in the four major public schools along with the provincial key class, the key class of Zhixin and the rocket class of the second middle school. The former is located on the University City Campus and adopts a boarding system, and the latter is located on the Huanghua Road Campus and can be used for day study. The class reform class is also located on Huanghua Road, and it takes the form of day schooling. In the 2015 high school entrance examination, the average score of the Guangzhou Affiliated Mathematics Class was 731, and the average score of the Olympiad class was 741, which was higher than the average score of the Olympiad class of the Chinese Affiliated University of China University of 738.41 points.

The Guangzhou Affiliated Olympiad Class and the Curriculum Reform Class recruit 2 classes each in the city. If you want to get into Oban, it's best to start in the fifth grade and participate in some authoritative math competitions; If you want to enter the class change, you must balance the grades of the three subjects. Relying on the advantages of the School of Mathematics of Guangzhou University and the "Institute of Mathematical Olympiad", and with the help of the university's Olympiad research experts, Aoban specially cultivates students with Olympiad specialties. Its base class implements a six-year consistent system, and it is required to sign a contract to go directly to the second middle and high school during the high school entrance examination, and if you don't want to, you will be transferred out. The pace of the class is very fast, and it will even involve some high school knowledge, which generally needs to be prepared in advance. After the Oban base class is directly promoted to the second middle and high school, it will be connected to the high school Aoban, and the students in the class reform class will have the opportunity to enter the famous "zero class".

As a school with a military cultural tradition, the management of Guangfu is particularly strict, and its military training time has always been longer than that of other middle schools: 6 days of military training in the first year of junior high school, and 9 days of military training in the first year of high school. At the same time, the amount of homework attached to Guangfu is huge, not only is there little time for club activities, but even some subjects such as music, physical education, etc. are often occupied by teachers of subjects such as language, mathematics and English, and students have great learning pressure.

In other aspects, the accommodation conditions of the Guangfu Huanghua Road Campus are slightly worse than those of the University Town Campus, and the facilities are relatively old, but it also has private bathrooms, toilets and balconies; The average price of meals in the canteen is 10 yuan a meal, and the dishes are relatively rich.
