Summary

Johns Creek Elementary in Suwanee, GA, is a PK-5 school serving 888 students within the highly-ranked Forsyth County School District (ranked 7th out of 201 districts statewide). The school has consistently ranked among the top 1-3% of all elementary schools in Georgia over the past decade, with its most recent state ranking of 11th out of 1,219 schools (99th percentile) representing a strong rebound from the previous year.

Johns Creek Elementary stands out for its exceptional mathematics achievement. In the most recent testing cycle, the school posted proficiency rates of 86.4% (3rd grade), 95.8% (4th grade), and 85.2% (5th grade). The 4th grade math proficiency rate of 95.8% exceeds the district average by 21 percentage points and the state average by nearly 46 percentage points. This performance is particularly notable when compared to nearby schools: Johns Creek outperformed Brookwood Elementary (77% in 4th grade math) and Sharon Elementary (85.7%) in every grade level tested. The school also achieved an 81.6% proficiency rate in 5th grade science, exceeding the state average by 37.4 percentage points. While English Language Arts (ELA) scores are not yet available for this release, the school's historical performance across all subjects has been consistently strong.

The school's success extends beyond test scores. Its chronic absenteeism rate of 4.5% is dramatically lower than both the district (8.2%) and state (17.7%) averages, and it has maintained rates below 10% even during the pandemic-affected 2022-2023 school year when the state average spiked to 22.6%. Johns Creek also demonstrates efficient resource allocation, spending $12,112 per student—notably less than comparable nearby schools like Findley Oaks Elementary ($19,610) and Wilson Creek Elementary ($14,595)—while achieving superior or comparable academic outcomes. When compared to top performers from neighboring districts, Johns Creek outperforms both Level Creek Elementary (Gwinnett County) and Wilson Creek (Fulton County) in 4th grade mathematics, despite those schools ranking slightly higher statewide. This combination of academic excellence, strong attendance, and cost efficiency makes Johns Creek a standout choice for families in the Suwanee area.

This school does not have an effective special needs program even for slight learning disabilities. Decent school for all others. Some very caring teachers. Close Quote
