Summary

Dyer Elementary School in Dacula, GA, serves approximately 944 students from Pre-K through 5th grade within the Gwinnett County School District, earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the 89th percentile statewide.

Dyer consistently outperforms district and state averages across all tested subjects. In the most recent testing cycle, math proficiency rates ranged from 65.8% to 71.9% across grade levels, compared to district averages of 51.6% to 56.8% and state averages of 44.1% to 50.1%. Fifth-grade science proficiency (66.5%) also substantially exceeds district (54.8%) and state (44.2%) averages. The school is particularly effective with diverse student populations—ranking 3rd statewide for Asian student performance and 25th for African American student performance. This is a notable differentiator even among nearby high-performing schools like Puckett's Mill Elementary and Fort Daniel Elementary, which rank slightly higher overall but don't match Dyer's equity in outcomes. Dyer also serves a student body where about 58% qualify for free or reduced lunch—a higher economic need profile than several neighboring schools—yet still achieves results comparable to or better than schools with more affluent populations.

One of Dyer's standout strengths is attendance. The chronic absenteeism rate dropped to just 7.2%—less than half the district rate (15.0%) and well below the state rate (17.7%). This continues a steady multi-year improvement from 14.7% in 2022-2023. The school has maintained at least a 4-star rating for ten consecutive years, with five 5-star ratings during that span. While its ranking has softened slightly from peak years (93rd-95th percentile from 2018-2022), this shift occurred even as attendance improved dramatically, suggesting changes in testing cohorts rather than declining effectiveness. At $14,655 per student, Dyer spends less than several nearby schools like Jenkins Elementary ($15,476) while achieving significantly better outcomes. One area to watch: female students rank in the 92nd percentile statewide while male students rank in the 85th percentile, though both groups perform well above state averages.
