Summary

Norton Elementary School in Snellville, GA, serves approximately 1,042 students in grades PK-5 as part of Gwinnett County Public Schools, and has seen its statewide ranking drop from the 60th percentile in 2018-2019 to the 21st percentile in 2025-2026.

Norton's math and science proficiency rates are significantly below those of nearby schools. For example, in 5th grade math, only 26.2% of Norton students scored proficient, compared to 77% at Head Elementary School and 53.9% at Trip Elementary School. Similarly, 5th grade science proficiency sits at 23.7%, versus 80.4% at Head and 57% at Trip. This gap has widened over the past three years—Norton's 5th grade math proficiency fell by 15.7 points and science by 22.8 points since 2023-2024, while nearby schools like Rosebud Elementary School and Partee Elementary School have held steady or improved. Notably, Rosebud serves a similar percentage of low-income students (80.2% free/reduced lunch) yet ranks in the 80th percentile statewide, suggesting that socioeconomic factors alone don't explain the difference.

On a positive note, Norton has made real progress reducing chronic absenteeism from 23.2% in 2023-2024 to 17.0% in 2025-2026, and per-student spending has risen to $14,467—higher than several better-performing peers like Trip ($12,590) and Head ($14,015). The school also maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.9:1. While subgroup data shows particular challenges for female, Hispanic, and special education students, Norton's historical performance (60th percentile as recently as 2018-2019) demonstrates that stronger outcomes are achievable. The school's closest geographic neighbor, Centerville Elementary School (1.78 miles away), performs at a similar level (32nd percentile), but the presence of high-performing schools within a 3-mile radius shows that improvement is possible within the same community context.
