Summary

Harbins Elementary School in Dacula, GA, is a large public school serving 1,320 students in grades PK-5 as part of Gwinnett County Public Schools, and it has earned a 4-star rating with a statewide rank of 326 out of 1,219 elementary schools.

Harbins is a school on the rise, improving its overall ranking by 76 spots in a single year. One of its standout strengths is early-grade math: 59.3% of 3rd graders scored proficient or above, beating the state average by 11 percentage points. The school also shines in 5th grade science, where 55.5% of students met proficiency—well above the state's 44.2%. Perhaps most impressive is the school's performance with African American students, who rank in the 92nd percentile statewide (5 stars), placing Harbins in the top 8% of all Georgia elementary schools for this group. Chronic absenteeism is another bright spot at just 9.9%, far below the district's 15.0% and the state's 17.7%, and it has dropped by 37% over three years. While female students outperform male students (79th vs. 68th percentile), both groups are solidly above state averages. The school also spends efficiently—$13,741 per student—achieving strong results while spending less than several nearby schools.

Compared to its neighbors, Harbins sits in the middle of a competitive corridor. It trails Dyer Elementary (ranked 135th) and Mulberry Elementary (238th), but it outpaces Dacula Elementary and Simonton Elementary by wide margins. It also far exceeds the Barrow County schools nearby, such as Kennedy Elementary and Auburn Elementary. Areas for growth include supporting English Language Learners (currently in the 45th percentile) and strengthening 4th grade math, which has consistently lagged district averages. With strong momentum, low absenteeism, and standout subgroup performance, Harbins is a school moving in the right direction.
