Nesbit Elementary School

Summary:

Nesbit Elementary School is a public elementary school in Tucker, Georgia, serving 1,206 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Gwinnett County School District, which is ranked 65th out of 203 districts in Georgia and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of a relatively high-performing district, Nesbit Elementary School consistently underperforms compared to the Gwinnett County and Georgia state averages on the Milestones Assessment. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 14.5% of 3rd graders, 15.2% of 4th graders, and 16.2% of 5th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 42.1%, 42.3%, and 53.4% for Gwinnett County, respectively. The school has a low statewide ranking, placing between 906th and 1,146th out of 1,214 to 1,248 Georgia elementary schools over the past several years, earning a 0 to 2 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. Additionally, Nesbit Elementary has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 79.45% to 88.31% over the past few years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Compared to nearby schools within the Gwinnett County district, such as Lilburn Elementary and Arcado Elementary, Nesbit Elementary's academic performance lags significantly. However, Nesbit performs better than some of the nearby schools in the DeKalb County district, such as Rockbridge Elementary and Graves Elementary. The lower spending per student at Nesbit Elementary compared to some of the nearby schools may be a factor in the school's underperformance, as adequate funding is crucial for providing the necessary resources and support for student learning.

Open Quote My daughter just came this school year as a 5th grader. I have been nothing but impressed at how Nesbit has come together to help and embrace my daughter. I was a Gwinnett County School bus driver and my even my Nesbit route was top notch. I would recommend Nesbit to any family that was looking for a place of higher learning, love and acceptance.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
