Peachtree Elementary School

Q: Is Peachtree Elementary School a good school?

Peachtree Elementary School ranks 729 th of 1248 Georgia elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Peachtree Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Norcross, Georgia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 696 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.

Peachtree Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the Gwinnett County and Georgia state averages on the Milestones Assessment for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 22.2% of 3rd graders, 23.5% of 4th graders, and 41.7% of 5th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 42.1%, 42.3%, and 53.4% for Gwinnett County, respectively. Additionally, Peachtree Elementary has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 72.86% to 72.99% in recent years, which is significantly higher than nearby schools like Berkeley Lake Elementary (52.14%) and Simpson Elementary (11.36%).

Despite the challenges faced by Peachtree Elementary, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.1 to 15.3 in recent years, could be an asset if leveraged effectively. However, the school's performance on the Milestones Assessment has been declining over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 412th out of 1,205 Georgia elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 729th out of 1,248 in 2023-2024. To address these issues, the school and Gwinnett County School District should consider implementing targeted strategies and interventions to support student learning and improve educational 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.
