Summary

Settles Bridge Elementary School in Suwanee, GA, serves 741 students in Pre-K through 5th grade and is part of the highly-rated Forsyth County School District, which ranks in the 97th percentile statewide.

Settles Bridge is a consistently high-performing school, currently ranking 58th out of 1,219 Georgia elementary schools (95th percentile). While this is a slight dip from its 34th-place ranking last year, the school has remained in the top 5% of schools statewide for over a decade. Its standout strength is special education: the school ranks 5th out of 465 schools statewide (99th percentile) for this subgroup—an extraordinary achievement that places it among the very best in Georgia for serving students with special needs. In mathematics, proficiency rates are remarkably consistent across grade levels (80.7% in 3rd grade, 78.8% in 4th, and 80% in 5th), outperforming the district by 7-8 points and the state by 32-36 points. Fifth-grade science proficiency reached 73.6%, well above state averages. The school also maintains excellent attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate of just 7.7%—far below the state's 17.7%.

Compared to nearby schools, Settles Bridge holds its own but isn't the top performer in the immediate area. Daves Creek Elementary (2.26 miles away) ranks 5th statewide with math proficiency exceeding 90%, while Sharon Elementary (2.17 miles) ranks 24th. Big Creek Elementary (4.14 miles) ranks 30th, and Haw Creek Elementary (2.81 miles) ranks 73rd. However, Settles Bridge's special education ranking far exceeds any nearby school, making it a distinctive choice for families with students who have special needs. The school also spends efficiently at $13,798 per student—less than several comparable schools—while achieving strong outcomes. Note that the most recent testing cycle does not include English Language Arts scores; those results will be released in December. Last year's ELA proficiency ranged from 62.8% to 81.8% across grades, all well above district and state averages.
