Summary

Simpson Elementary School in Peachtree Corners, GA, is a top-performing Pre-K through 5th grade school within the Gwinnett County district, serving 881 students with a favorable 12.3:1 student-teacher ratio.

Simpson Elementary has earned a 5-star rating for ten consecutive years and consistently ranks in the 97th percentile or higher statewide. In the most recent testing year, math proficiency rates ranged from 74.8% to 86.3% across grades 3-5, compared to state averages of 44.1-50.1%. Fifth-grade science proficiency hit 84%, nearly double the state average of 44.2%. The school also stands out for remarkably low chronic absenteeism at just 5.3%, compared to 15.0% for the district and 17.7% statewide—a pattern that has held steady even through the pandemic years. Per-student spending of $15,078 is efficient relative to nearby schools, and the school achieves strong results for female and white students, ranking in the 98th percentile for both groups.

Simpson sits in a cluster of elite schools, including Barnwell Elementary School (18th), State Bridge Crossing Elementary School (40th), and Medlock Bridge Elementary School (42nd). However, the contrast with other nearby Gwinnett schools is stark: in 5th grade math, Simpson's 84.1% proficiency compares to 56.0% at Berkeley Lake Elementary School and 38.0% at Peachtree Elementary School. While Simpson's ranking has slipped from 8th to 41st in recent years, it remains firmly in the top tier. Areas for growth include outcomes for Hispanic and special education students, who rank in the 62nd and 63rd percentiles respectively—still respectable but below the school's overall excellence.
