While Lilburn Elementary School has a higher per-student spending compared to nearby schools, ranging from $9,037 to $10,096 over the past few years, it consistently underperforms academically compared to the Gwinnett County and Georgia state averages in the Milestones Assessment for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in 3rd grade ELA was 23.7% at Lilburn Elementary, compared to 42.1% in Gwinnett County and 38.4% in Georgia. Additionally, Lilburn Elementary has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 80.38% to 88.38% over the past few years, significantly higher than the nearby schools, which have rates ranging from 35.8% to 89.99%.

When comparing Lilburn Elementary School to the nearby schools in the Gwinnett County district, such as Camp Creek Elementary and Knight Elementary, it becomes clear that Lilburn is underperforming academically, with the nearby schools having significantly higher proficiency rates in the Milestones Assessments. However, the higher per-student spending and slightly higher student-teacher ratio at Lilburn Elementary School suggest that there is potential for improvement through targeted interventions and support to address the specific needs of the student population.

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.
