Summary

Arcado Elementary School in Lilburn, GA, is a PK–5 school in the Gwinnett County district serving 905 students, and it has earned a 4-star rating with a statewide rank of 171 out of 1,219 elementary schools (86th percentile) for 2025–2026.

Arcado stands out as one of the top-performing schools in its area, with math proficiency rates that are often double those of nearby schools. For example, 5th grade math proficiency is 63.7%, compared to roughly 24–33% at Rockbridge Elementary School, Meadowcreek Elementary School, Hopkins Elementary School, Minor Elementary School, and Nesbit Elementary School. Only Camp Creek Elementary School and Mountain Park Elementary School match or exceed Arcado's results. Science is a particular strength—70.6% of 5th graders are proficient, far above the district (54.8%) and state (44.2%) averages. The school also excels with specific student groups, ranking in the 99th percentile statewide for African American students and 96th for White students.

Despite 61.2% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, Arcado keeps chronic absenteeism low at 11.4%, well below the district (15.0%) and state (17.7%) averages. The school has improved its statewide percentile ranking for four consecutive years since the pandemic, climbing from 67th to 86th percentile. Per-student spending ($15,749) is actually lower than several nearby schools that achieve far worse outcomes, suggesting efficient resource use. The one area for growth is with Asian students, where the school ranks in the 24th percentile—a contrast to its otherwise stellar subgroup performance. Overall, Arcado combines strong academics, consistent improvement, and low absenteeism, making it a standout choice in the Lilburn area.
