Summary

Beaver Ridge Elementary School in Norcross, GA, is a large PK-5 school in the Gwinnett County district, serving 984 students in a community where about 82% of families qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

The most encouraging news for parents is that Beaver Ridge is on a clear upward trajectory. Its statewide ranking jumped from the 20th percentile last year to the 39th percentile this year—a 19-point gain that outpaces every nearby school. For example, Rockbridge Elementary and Baldwin Elementary both saw declines or stagnation over the same period. The school also stands out for its work with specific student groups: it ranks in the 68th percentile statewide for English Language Learners and the 61st percentile for African American students—both well above its overall ranking. This suggests targeted strategies are making a real difference for these learners. Additionally, chronic absenteeism has dropped from 21.2% to 13.2% over four years, now lower than the district (15.0%) and state (17.7%) averages—a strong sign of improved engagement and school climate.

That said, proficiency rates in core subjects still trail district and state averages. For instance, 5th-grade math proficiency is 34.5% versus the district's 51.6%. However, Beaver Ridge is competitive with many immediate neighbors, outperforming Minor Elementary, Meadowcreek Elementary, and Hopkins Elementary in several subjects, while trailing Corley Elementary and Berkeley Lake Elementary. A comparison with Brookhaven Innovation Academy, a nearby charter with far fewer low-income students (26% vs. 82%), shows a significant achievement gap—but it also highlights how much Beaver Ridge accomplishes with a much more economically challenged population. Per-student spending ($15,384) and class sizes (12.8:1) are in line with peers, suggesting the recent gains come from effective resource use, not extra funding.
