While Lilburn Middle School is part of a relatively high-performing district, the school itself consistently underperforms compared to the county and state averages on Milestones Assessments. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics ranged from 23.8% to 29.5% in ELA and 22.3% to 38.6% in Mathematics, significantly lower than the county and state averages. Additionally, Lilburn Middle School has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 87.53% to 89.68% over the past few years, which is much higher than the county and state averages. The school's spending per student is also lower than some nearby schools, and it has a relatively high student-teacher ratio compared to other schools in the area.

When comparing Lilburn Middle School to nearby schools within the Gwinnett County School District, it becomes clear that the school is underperforming. Schools like Trickum Middle School and Five Forks Middle School consistently outperform Lilburn Middle School in test scores, with proficiency rates that are significantly higher across various subject areas. The combination of lower test scores, higher free and reduced lunch rates, and higher student-teacher ratios at Lilburn Middle School suggests that the school may face significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its diverse student population.

Awful school. I haven't seen a report card for my child since Fall 2014. I have gone up there several times only to be told the teacher was busy and to email them. I have called about it, no answer on the 6th Grade Academy line, no results. My child's teacher quit 2 months ago because "the children's behavior". Tomorrow is the last day of school and he was sent a paper home that stated he is not passing and needs summer school. How on Earth would I know he is passing or failing something with no report card?! A concerned parent goes up to a school and leaves with no results every time. I have never in my life seen anything like this. Close Quote

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.
