Summary

Creekland Middle School in Lawrenceville, GA, serves approximately 1,693 students in grades 6-8 as part of Gwinnett County Public Schools, and has recently earned a 3-star rating after a decade of 4-star ratings.

The school’s standout strength is its Algebra I program: 99.4% of Creekland students taking the course scored proficient or better in 2025-2026, far exceeding the district average of 57.6% and the state average of 48.1%. This near-universal success has been consistent for several years, rivaling top performers like Crews Middle School and Twin Rivers Middle School. Creekland also keeps students engaged—its chronic absenteeism rate of 10.0% is well below the district’s 15.0% and the state’s 17.7%, and is closer to much more affluent schools like North Gwinnett Middle School (4.2%) than to nearby schools with similar poverty levels, such as Richards Middle School (13.5%) or Moore Middle School (19.0%). The school also earns high marks for supporting English Language Learners, ranking in the 83rd percentile statewide for that subgroup.

However, not all areas shine. Eighth-grade math proficiency (48.2%) trails the district average (55.2%), and 8th grade social studies (39.3%) lags the district by more than 12 points. The school’s state ranking has slipped from #103 to #201 over four years, though this appears tied to a rising poverty rate (now 65% free/reduced lunch, up from 51.8% two years ago) and a competitive field rather than a drop in raw scores—7th grade math actually improved from 42.4% to 60% in that time. Compared to neighbors, Creekland outperforms Jordan Middle School and Richards, but trails Hull Middle School and North Gwinnett, which serve more affluent populations. For parents, Creekland offers strong advanced math, excellent attendance, and efficient spending ($12,061 per student) in a school that is holding steady despite growing economic challenges.

students have very little attention from the teacher, which causes bullen in schools, teachers have to learn to listen to students and not blame who is being attacked, to get out of the problem no matter how much the student is affected Close Quote

Great communication between parents and teachers ! Close Quote

Gwinnett County has this "No student left behind" motive, yet, all they give a crap about are testing score, rather than the actual education the student needs, it's the same with their other elementary and high schools. If you are going to have your child attend this school, be wary of this. Close Quote
