While Suwanee Elementary is a standout performer, the analysis also highlights the strong academic results of some nearby schools, such as Riverside Elementary and Level Creek Elementary, which rank 13th and 8th, respectively, out of all Georgia elementary schools in 2024-2025. These findings suggest that factors beyond just school-level metrics, such as socioeconomic status, may play a significant role in a school's academic outcomes.

Thursday, November 17, 2016

Kindergarten has not been a great experience at this school. My child was very well prepared to Kindergarten, but he gets very little attention in class. The class sizes are way too big. 21 kids in kindergarten with no parapro is too many. They started the year with 25 and we're down to 20. I think many parents were turned off by the size of the class, and the lack of attention available to each child. Close Quote
