Moore Middle School

Q: Is Moore Middle School a good school?

Moore Middle School ranks 368 th of 588 Georgia middle schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Moore Middle School is a public middle school located in Lawrenceville, Georgia, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 908 students. The school is part of the Gwinnett County School District, which is ranked 65 out of 203 districts in Georgia and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

While Moore Middle School consistently underperforms compared to the Gwinnett County and Georgia state averages in most subject areas and grade levels, the school's performance in Algebra I for End of Course (EOC) assessments is a bright spot, with 66.3% proficiency in 2023-2024, outperforming the Gwinnett County (53.5%) and Georgia state (44%) averages. The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 67.63% to 77.64% over the past few years, is significantly higher than the surrounding schools, such as Berkmar Middle School (89.21%), Crews Middle School (32.79%), and Northbrook Middle School (59.07%).

Despite the school's academic challenges, its spending per student and student-teacher ratio are on par with or slightly better than the nearby schools, indicating that the school's performance may not be solely attributed to resource allocation. The high concentration of economically disadvantaged students at Moore Middle School is a key factor that likely contributes to its academic struggles and requires a comprehensive approach to address the unique 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.
