Minor Elementary School

Summary:

Minor Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Lilburn, Georgia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 899 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.

Despite the district's overall ranking, Minor Elementary School consistently underperforms compared to the Gwinnett County and Georgia state averages on the Milestones Assessment. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science were significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels. Additionally, Minor Elementary School has a low statewide ranking, placing between 575th and 977th out of 1,248 Georgia elementary schools over the past 10 years, and has maintained a 1- or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is among the lower-performing schools in the state.

The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Minor Elementary School, ranging from 73.59% to 79.87% over the past three school years, suggests a high concentration of economically disadvantaged students, which could be a contributing factor to the lower academic performance. While the school's spending per student has increased from $9,236 in 2016-2017 to $10,626 in 2018-2019, indicating a higher investment in the school's resources, this increased investment has not yet translated into significant improvements in academic outcomes. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.7 to 12.8 over the past three school years, could be a potential strength, but it alone does not appear to be sufficient to overcome the school's broader academic challenges.

My son made honor roll twice in the 2016/2017 school year. Close Quote

Ignore the fact that one parent thinks nothing of the female teachers at Minor. Most of these teachers are extremely effective, caring, smart, and understanding and as a parent of a Minor student from Kindergarten to 5th grade I have seen MALE teachers come and go by their own choice. I doubt men are lining up at the door to apply for a job with this school or ANY elementary school. What a ridiculous review!

This is a great school. I hope the wonderful education this parents child is getting isn't overshadowed by the parents complete utter ignorance. Gender equality? Please give me a break! Close Quote

Hello,

There is great male/female teacher ratio discrepancy at minor needing attention and corrective action. The gender ratio need to be closed. Although gender may not effect how "much" a child learns, more importantly it will effect "what" it learn in the class. For one thing, not to addressing this form of disparity in a learning institution clearly, fly in the face of its teaching and promoting gender equality role in society.

There should be clearly written rules of engagement regarding separated parents and how the school legally is directed to handle. Separated parents rights are not being consistently and evenhandedly administered by administrators. Administrators seem to makeup and change the rules as they go along.

That being said, most of the staff, have been very friendly and helpful at this school. Close Quote

This website is a joke and a disgrace! Unless you are involved in a school as a student, faculty, staff, parent and volunteer how can you rate it so low simply by the way it positions itself in test scores? This is one and only a small way to measure a schools success. I have had my oldest son attend Minor since K and he's now in 4th, my youngest is in 1st. My sons are lucky to go to Minor. No test can accurately measure the true growth of a student. I am involved and I can tell you that this school is #1 in the areas that most influence a child's love of learning. Take it from someone who knows- the students here are bright and respectful, they are performing extraordinarily well for their demographics, the teachers are amazing, and the leadership is strong and effective at the same time as being open and welcoming. Your child WILL receive a first rate education at Minor. 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.
