Summary:

Kanoheda Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Lawrenceville, Georgia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 890 students. 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.

Kanoheda Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by the Milestones Assessment, is generally lower than the Gwinnett County and Georgia state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts ranged from 30.6% to 35.8%, compared to 42.1% to 53.4% for Gwinnett County and 37% to 48.2% for the state. Similarly, in Mathematics, Kanoheda's proficiency rates ranged from 30.1% to 44.8%, while Gwinnett County and the state had higher rates of 47.4% to 54.4% and 41% to 48.1%, respectively. The school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 428th out of 1,209 Georgia elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 670th out of 1,248 in 2023-2024, and it has consistently been rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance compared to other elementary schools in the state.

Kanoheda Elementary School has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 82.92% to 83.81% in recent years, suggesting a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. When comparing Kanoheda to the nearby Gwin Oaks Elementary School, which is located approximately 3.28 miles away, it becomes evident that Kanoheda's academic performance is generally lower, with Gwin Oaks consistently outperforming Kanoheda in all subject areas and grade levels, with proficiency rates often exceeding 60% in many cases. Despite the higher spending per student at Kanoheda Elementary School compared to the state average, the school's academic performance remains below par, indicating that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution, and that other factors, such as the effective allocation of resources and targeted interventions, may be necessary to improve student outcomes.

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.
