Summary

Norcross Elementary School in Norcross, GA, serves approximately 751 students in grades PK-5 within the Gwinnett County School District. The school currently ranks in the 25th percentile of Georgia elementary schools, a decline from its 2018-2019 peak, though it has shown slight improvement from its 2023-2024 ranking.

Academically, Norcross Elementary trails district and state averages in math and science across all grade levels. For example, 5th grade math proficiency is 23%, compared to 51.6% for the district and 44.1% for the state. The gap widens in upper grades, suggesting students may face challenges sustaining academic growth. However, there is a notable bright spot: the school has dramatically reduced chronic absenteeism from 25.2% in 2022-2023 to 13.3% in 2025-2026, now outperforming both the district (15.0%) and state (17.7%) averages. This improvement in attendance has not yet translated into higher test scores, indicating that academic strategies may need adjustment. The school also shows a consistent strength in 4th grade math (41.7% proficient), which has outperformed both 3rd and 5th grade math for three consecutive years.

Compared to nearby schools, Norcross Elementary performs similarly to several peers serving high-poverty populations, including Meadowcreek Elementary (23rd percentile) and Stripling Elementary (21st percentile). However, Beaver Ridge Elementary (39th percentile) and Peachtree Elementary (49th percentile) outperform Norcross despite serving similar demographics, suggesting that higher outcomes are achievable. Per-student spending at Norcross ($16,189) is higher than several of these peers, yet outcomes remain comparable or lower, indicating that targeted interventions may be more effective than additional resources alone. The school serves a predominantly low-income population, with 88.55% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, and maintains a favorable 12:1 student-teacher ratio.

We decided to send our son to Norcross Elementary School this year. We have been overjoyed by the care of the teachers and the administration of the school. We've lived in the area for 14 years, but we home-schooled before sending him here. This school is getting better every day. Close Quote
