Families in Lilburn will find a wide range of school performance, with several standout options. Head Elementary School is the clear leader, ranking in the 97th percentile statewide with a 5-star rating and exceptional math and science proficiency rates—often 30 points above state averages. Parkview High School is the top high school, ranking in the 84th percentile with strong End of Course exam scores and an 88.7% graduation rate. Camp Creek Elementary School (89th percentile) and Arcado Elementary School (86th percentile) also rank among the top elementary options. At the middle school level, Trickum Middle School leads with math proficiency rates around 50-60%, while Lilburn Middle School and Berkmar Middle School lag significantly behind, ranking in the 34th and 26th percentiles respectively.

The most significant challenges appear at Berkmar High School, which ranks in the 28th percentile with proficiency rates roughly 20 points below state averages and a concerning 41.9% chronic absenteeism rate—nearly triple the district average. Hopkins Elementary School faces similar struggles at the elementary level, ranking in the 27th percentile. Across the district, chronic absenteeism strongly correlates with performance: top schools like Head Elementary (6.5% absenteeism) and Camp Creek (8.2%) outperform schools with higher absenteeism rates. The data also reveals a notable "middle school slide," where strong elementary performers like Mountain Park Elementary School (84th percentile) feed into middle schools that rank lower, suggesting the transition period is a critical challenge. Interestingly, Berkmar Middle School shows exceptional advanced coursework performance—91.4% proficiency in Algebra I—despite low overall scores, indicating strong potential among its highest-achieving students.
