Summary

Lilburn Middle School in Lilburn, GA, serves 1,636 students in grades 6 through 8 within the Gwinnett County district, and it currently holds a 2-star rating, ranking in the 34th percentile statewide—a slight improvement from last year.

The most striking story at Lilburn is its "two-tiered" math program. In advanced Algebra I, the school shines: 81.7% of students scored proficient or better, far outpacing the district (57.6%) and state (48.1%) averages, and this strength has been consistent for four years. However, standard grade-level math tells a different story. Only 30.8% of 6th graders, 25.8% of 7th graders, and 39.3% of 8th graders met proficiency—well below district and state averages. For example, 7th-grade math trails the district by nearly 27 percentage points. This suggests the school has a highly effective pipeline for advanced students, but the majority of learners in standard classes may not be getting the same level of support. A notable bright spot: African American students at Lilburn rank in the 84th percentile statewide, a significant strength. The school also faces a challenge with chronic absenteeism at 21.2%, higher than the district (15.0%) and state (17.7%), though it has improved from 24.0% last year.

Compared to nearby schools, Lilburn's results are mixed. Trickum Middle School (1.4 miles away) outperforms Lilburn in nearly every metric, with a 73rd percentile ranking and a 99% Algebra I proficiency rate, plus a much lower absenteeism rate (10.4%). Berkmar Middle School (1.45 miles away) has a similar overall ranking and serves a similarly high-poverty population, but Lilburn edges it out in Algebra I. Five Forks Middle School (4.3 miles away) ranks in the 86th percentile, but it serves a much wealthier population, highlighting the socioeconomic challenges Lilburn faces with 91.69% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. With per-student spending of $14,142 and a student-teacher ratio of 13.6, Lilburn's primary opportunity lies in closing the gap between its advanced and standard math tracks and tackling absenteeism.

Open Quote Awful school. I haven't seen a report card for my child since Fall 2014. I have gone up there several times only to be told the teacher was busy and to email them. I have called about it, no answer on the 6th Grade Academy line, no results. My child's teacher quit 2 months ago because "the children's behavior". Tomorrow is the last day of school and he was sent a paper home that stated he is not passing and needs summer school. How on Earth would I know he is passing or failing something with no report card?! A concerned parent goes up to a school and leaves with no results every time. I have never in my life seen anything like this. Close Quote
