Corley Elementary School consistently underperforms 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, only 23.3% of 3rd graders, 20.5% of 4th graders, and 23.4% of 5th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the Gwinnett County averages of 42.1%, 42.3%, and 53.4%, respectively. Additionally, Corley Elementary School has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 86.51% to 87.32% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages. The school's spending per student has increased from $8,184 in 2016-2017 to $9,328 in 2018-2019, but this is lower than the spending per student at some of the nearby schools, such as Bethesda Elementary School.
Corley Elementary School's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, from 511th out of 1,234 Georgia elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 927th out of 1,248 in 2023-2024. This suggests that the school's academic performance is not improving and may be falling behind other schools in the state. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Corley Elementary School may contribute to the school's lower academic performance, and the school may need to explore targeted interventions and support to address the academic gaps, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics, in order to improve student outcomes and close the achievement gap with the surrounding schools.
