Summary:
The city of Dacula, Georgia is home to 8 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Gwinnett County school district. While the district as a whole is ranked 65 out of 203 in Georgia, the individual schools in Dacula show a wide range of academic performance.
The standout schools in Dacula are Puckett's Mill Elementary, which consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Georgia with a 5-star rating, and Dyer Elementary and Fort Daniel Elementary, both of which have 4- or 5-star ratings and excellent test scores. In contrast, Alcova Elementary and Dacula Elementary struggle to meet the county and state averages on standardized tests.
The data also reveals a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance, with schools that have higher free/reduced lunch rates tending to have lower test scores. Additionally, Dacula High School has a graduation rate slightly below the state average and test scores that are generally lower than the county and state averages. These findings suggest that while the Gwinnett County school district as a whole is performing well, there is room for improvement in addressing the disparities between the top-performing and lower-performing schools in Dacula.
