Summary

Craig Elementary School in Lawrenceville, GA, is a large Pre-K through 5th grade school serving 1,045 students in the Gwinnett County School District, and it stands out as a consistently top-performing school in the area.

Craig Elementary has earned a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past decade, ranking in the top 10% of all Georgia elementary schools—currently 109th out of 1,219 schools statewide. This is a remarkable achievement, especially when compared to nearby schools. For example, Lawrenceville Elementary, Alford Elementary, and Cedar Hill Elementary all rank in the bottom half of the state. In the most recent testing cycle, Craig students scored 20–25 percentage points above state averages in math and science across grades 3–5. For instance, 5th-grade math proficiency hit 72.7%, outpacing Gwin Oaks Elementary (70.2%) and Pharr Elementary (60.6%).

What makes Craig especially impressive is that this success extends across all student groups. The school ranks in the 99th percentile for African American students and in the 90th percentile or higher for Hispanic, White, and male/female students. Nearly half of its students qualify for free or reduced lunch, yet the school performs on par with—or better than—schools with similar poverty levels, like Brookwood Elementary and Gwin Oaks. Craig also has a very low chronic absenteeism rate of 9.3%, compared to 15% district-wide and 17.7% statewide. Notably, the school achieves these results while spending less per student ($14,974) than lower-performing neighbors like Britt Elementary ($17,094). One area for potential focus is the Asian student subgroup, which ranks lower (48th percentile) than other groups, suggesting an opportunity for targeted support.
