Summary

Snellville Middle School serves approximately 820 students in grades 6-8 in Gwinnett County, Snellville, GA, where about 76% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school tells a story of two very different experiences. On one hand, students in advanced coursework achieve remarkable results. In the most recent testing year, 85.4% of Algebra I students and 94% of Biology students scored proficient or better—far exceeding district and state averages by 37 to 47 percentage points. This is a standout strength, especially when compared to nearby schools like Crews Middle School and Bay Creek Middle School, which also post strong advanced-course scores. However, grade-level performance tells a different story. In 6th-grade math, only 24.8% of students met proficiency, compared to 73.7% at Crews and 70.6% at Five Forks Middle School. Similar gaps appear in 7th and 8th-grade math, as well as social studies and physical science, where Snellville trails district averages by roughly 20-25 points.

There are bright spots worth noting. Chronic absenteeism has stayed below district and state averages for five straight years, and the school has invested heavily in smaller class sizes—its student-teacher ratio of 13.6:1 is the lowest among nearby schools. Per-student spending is also the highest in the area at $14,833. African American students at Snellville perform relatively well compared to statewide peers, ranking in the 58th percentile. However, the school's overall state ranking has declined steadily over the past decade, from the 69th percentile in 2015-2016 to the 31st percentile today. The central challenge appears to be extending the success seen in advanced classes to the broader student body, particularly for Hispanic students and male students, who show the lowest subgroup performance.
