Summary

Britt Elementary School is a PK-5 school in Snellville, GA, serving 561 students as part of Gwinnett County Public Schools, where about 80% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Britt currently ranks in the lower-middle tier of Georgia elementary schools (33rd percentile), a drop from the prior year (40th percentile). Math proficiency rates are notably lower than nearby schools—for example, 4th grade math sits at 26%, compared to 74.3% at Brookwood Elementary (2.6 miles away). Science proficiency (30.4% in 5th grade) also trails the district (54.8%) and is less than half the rate at Head Elementary (80.4%). However, Britt outperforms Norton Elementary (21st percentile) and is on par with Centerville Elementary (32nd percentile). Notably, Britt’s African American students rank in the 61st percentile statewide—the school’s strongest subgroup performance—while Hispanic and Special Education students face greater challenges.

On a positive note, chronic absenteeism has dropped dramatically from 22.4% to 14.0%—now better than both the district (15.0%) and state (17.7%) averages. The school also invests heavily per student ($17,094), more than top-performing neighbors like Rosebud Elementary ($16,180) and Trip Elementary ($12,590), with an improved student-teacher ratio of 12:1. Yet, despite these investments and better attendance, test scores have not improved—4th grade math fell from 42.6% to 26% over two years. This suggests the school’s challenges may lie more in instructional strategies than resources. For parents, Britt offers a caring environment with improving attendance, but families should be aware of the academic gaps, especially in upper-grade math and science, and may want to explore how the school supports diverse learners.

Open Quote Britt Elementary is a small school of around 550 students.. This is a refreshing change in a time where so many elementary schools in the area have close to 1000 students. (The attendance listed on this site is inaccurate). Close Quote

Open Quote I am a mother to a 6 year old little girl who goes to Britt Elementary. I do not like this school nor do I think this school is ran correctly. My daughter loved school till she came to this school. Now she asks to go back to her old school and if she can have a different teacher. I went to have a talk with my daughters teacher because some of the things my daughter came home to tell me was a little troubling. Like that the teacher won't let the kids go to the bathroom when they ask. To me this is not right because if a 6 year old asks to go to the bath room 9 time out of 10 its because they really need to go. My daughter also had an accident because her teacher wouldn't let her go to the bathroom when she asked and she was not the only one in her class who has had an accident because of not being allowed to go to the bathroom when they ask. So I have a talk with the teacher and she says that if my daughter asks to go to the bathroom she will let her go. Well, today I have lunch with my daughter and she needed to go to the bathroom and I sent her to ask her and the teacher tells her NO. So I get up and take her to the bathroom and when we come back from the bathroom her teacher comes up to me and in front of my daughter starts to reprimand me and tell me I'm not allowed to take my daughter to the bathroom. Excuse me but if my daughter needs to go to the bathroom I will take her before she pees on herself. Needless to say she keeps going on about how I have to follow her rules and this and that. So I check my daughter out and inform the principal I will be withdrawing my daughter on Monday! Close Quote
