Summary

Kanoheda Elementary School in Lawrenceville, GA, is a mid-sized school within the Gwinnett County district, serving 925 students in Pre-K through 5th grade, with a large majority of families (84%) qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

The most encouraging news is that Kanoheda is on a clear upward path. Its statewide ranking has improved for four straight years, climbing from the 44th percentile in 2022-2023 to the 53rd percentile in 2025-2026, and its star rating has risen from 2 to 3 stars. A standout strength is the school’s work with its African American students, who rank in the 82nd percentile statewide—a 4-star performance that outpaces the school’s overall rating. However, the biggest challenge is chronic absenteeism: at 23.8%, it’s the highest among all nearby schools, compared to 18.7% at Baggett Elementary School and just 8.1% at Gwin Oaks Elementary School. This persistent issue—above 20% for four years—likely holds back even greater academic gains.

There are also two specific areas that need attention. First, 5th-grade math is a notable weak spot: only 31.5% of students are proficient, which is 20 points below the district average (51.6%) and a gap that has persisted for two years. Second, the school’s support for Special Education students ranks in the 22nd percentile statewide (1-star), a stark contrast to its success with African American students. Interestingly, Kanoheda spends more per student ($16,265) than higher-performing neighbors like Gwin Oaks ($12,878) and Jackson Elementary School ($13,602), suggesting that funding isn’t the issue—rather, how resources are allocated to address absenteeism and the 5th-grade math slump may be the key to unlocking further improvement.
