Summary

Beaver Ridge Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Norcross, Georgia, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 981. The school is part of the Gwinnett County School District, which is ranked 67 out of 206 districts in Georgia and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Beaver Ridge Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the Gwinnett County and Georgia state averages on the Milestones Assessments across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 11.4% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 38.7% in Gwinnett County and 34.9% statewide. The school has a low statewide ranking, placing between 748 and 996 out of 1,238 Georgia elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a 1-star or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Additionally, Beaver Ridge Elementary has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 79.35% to 85.22% over the past few years, indicating a high-poverty student population.

While Beaver Ridge Elementary underperforms compared to the district and state averages, it is not the lowest-performing school in the immediate area. Nearby schools like Rockbridge Elementary, Minor Elementary, and Meadowcreek Elementary also struggle with low academic achievement and high poverty rates. The relatively low per-student spending and the high student-teacher ratios at Beaver Ridge Elementary could also be factors impacting the school's ability to provide quality education. Despite the challenges, the data indicates that there is room for improvement, and targeted interventions and support could potentially lead to better outcomes for students.
