Summary

Duluth Middle School in Duluth, GA, serves approximately 1,201 students in grades 6-8 within the Gwinnett County school district, where about 76% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

The most striking feature of this school is the dramatic difference between its advanced and grade-level classes. In 2025-2026, 95.7% of students taking Algebra I scored proficient or better, and 100% of students taking Biology did the same—far exceeding district and state averages. However, only about 31-39% of students in standard grade-level math classes scored proficient, which is below district averages. This gap is much wider than at similar nearby schools like Sweetwater Middle School, which shows a narrower difference between its advanced and grade-level results. The school also struggles with 8th-grade physical science, where just 32.5% scored proficient versus 60.9% statewide. On a positive note, chronic absenteeism is below both district and state averages, and the school performs well with English Language Learners and special education students.

Duluth Middle's overall state ranking has declined over the past decade, from the 77th percentile in 2015-2016 to the 43rd percentile in 2025-2026. The school spends $15,329 per student—higher than several higher-performing nearby schools like Hull Middle School ($12,659) and Coleman Middle School ($14,028)—yet its grade-level outcomes lag behind those schools. While the advanced coursework results show that students can achieve at elite levels when placed in the right classes, the wide gap suggests that many students may not be accessing these opportunities. For parents, this school offers exceptional advanced programs but also highlights the need to advocate for your child's placement and support in grade-level classes.

This school does not treat everyone equal. Parents they slide you under the rug and your issues never get resolved. There is alot of targeting and inconsistency at this school. Close Quote
