Summary

Gwinnett InterVention Education (GIVE) Center East in Lawrenceville, GA, is a specialized alternative school serving 334 students in grades 6-12 within the Gwinnett County district, designed to provide intervention education for students referred from traditional school settings.

This school serves a high-needs population, with 71% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. The most striking metric is the 0.0% graduation rate for 2024-2025, compared to the district average of 85.4% and nearby schools like Archer High School (93.8%) and Mountain View High School (91.6%). The dropout rate of 9.1% is more than three times the district rate, though it has improved dramatically from 24.3% in 2020-2021. Chronic absenteeism affects 42.3% of students—nearly triple the district rate—and academic proficiency is far below averages: only 3.3% of students are proficient in Algebra I and 3.1% in Biology, compared to district rates above 50%. Even compared to Phoenix High School, another alternative school with a 24.1% graduation rate, GIVE Center East's outcomes are notably lower.

Despite these challenges, the school invests heavily in its students, spending $25,744 per student—roughly double what traditional schools spend—and maintaining an 8:1 student-teacher ratio, far lower than the 14-20:1 found at nearby high schools. This reflects an intensive, individualized approach. There are also signs of progress: the dropout rate has fallen significantly, chronic absenteeism improved from 54.1% to 42.3%, and US History proficiency more than doubled from 9.1% to 19.4%. It's important to understand this school's mission: it serves students who have not succeeded in traditional environments, and its metrics should be viewed through that lens. Note that Georgia's current test release does not include English Language Arts scores; those will be available in December. While outcomes remain far below district averages, the school's targeted interventions and improving trends suggest it is working to address profound student needs.
