Corley Elementary School

Summary:

Corley Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Lawrenceville, Georgia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 1,096 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.

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.

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.
