Summary

Norton Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Snellville, Georgia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 1,005 students. The school is part of the Gwinnett County School District, which is ranked 67th out of 206 districts in Georgia and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of a relatively high-performing district, Norton 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 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of 5th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts was 29.8% at Norton, compared to 48.8% in Gwinnett County and 43% statewide. Additionally, Norton Elementary School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the years, dropping from a rank of 489 out of 1,234 Georgia elementary schools in 2018-2019 to a rank of 947 out of 1,238 in 2024-2025, placing the school in the bottom quarter of elementary schools in the state.

Further analysis reveals that Norton Elementary School has a significantly higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch compared to the nearby schools, with a rate of 86.77% in 2023-2024. This suggests a higher concentration of economically disadvantaged students at the school. Additionally, Norton Elementary School has a higher student-teacher ratio of 14.6 in 2023-2024, compared to the nearby schools, which range from 11.4 to 14.8 students per teacher. These factors may be contributing to the school's academic struggles and declining performance over time.
