Summary:
The 30046 zip code area of Lawrenceville, Georgia is home to 11 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 4 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance across these schools, with some standout performers and others struggling significantly.
Jordan Middle School stands out as the top-performing middle school, with significantly higher proficiency rates on state assessments than the Gwinnett County and state averages in most subjects. In contrast, Phoenix High School has the lowest four-year graduation rate at just 22.0%, and the International Transition Center serves a unique population with extremely low proficiency rates on state assessments.
The data also highlights the importance of considering factors beyond just test scores and graduation rates when evaluating school performance. For example, there appears to be a relationship between the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch and academic performance, with the schools serving higher-poverty populations generally performing worse on state assessments. Additionally, the specialized schools like the International Transition Center and Oakland Meadow School face unique challenges and have very high spending per student, indicating the need for a more nuanced understanding of school performance.
