Summary

Minor Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Lilburn, Georgia, serving 886 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Gwinnett County School District, which is ranked 67th out of 206 districts in the state.

Despite the district's overall ranking, Minor Elementary School consistently underperforms compared to the Gwinnett County and Georgia state averages in the Milestones Assessment for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 27.4% of 5th-grade students at Minor Elementary were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 48.8% in Gwinnett County and 43% statewide. The school has a low statewide ranking, placing between 575th and 1136th out of 1238-1248 Georgia elementary schools over the past several years.

One potential factor contributing to Minor Elementary School's lower academic performance may be its high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 79.87% to 88.37% over the past few years. However, the school's increased spending per student, from $9,236 in 2016-2017 to $10,626 in 2018-2019, suggests a focus on improving resources and support for students. With targeted interventions and a focus on addressing the needs of the student population, Minor Elementary School may have an opportunity to improve its academic performance and ranking over time.

My son made honor roll twice in the 2016/2017 school year. Close Quote

Ignore the fact that one parent thinks nothing of the female teachers at Minor. Most of these teachers are extremely effective, caring, smart, and understanding and as a parent of a Minor student from Kindergarten to 5th grade I have seen MALE teachers come and go by their own choice. I doubt men are lining up at the door to apply for a job with this school or ANY elementary school. What a ridiculous review!

This is a great school. I hope the wonderful education this parents child is getting isn't overshadowed by the parents complete utter ignorance. Gender equality? Please give me a break! Close Quote

Hello,

There is great male/female teacher ratio discrepancy at minor needing attention and corrective action. The gender ratio need to be closed. Although gender may not effect how "much" a child learns, more importantly it will effect "what" it learn in the class. For one thing, not to addressing this form of disparity in a learning institution clearly, fly in the face of its teaching and promoting gender equality role in society.

There should be clearly written rules of engagement regarding separated parents and how the school legally is directed to handle. Separated parents rights are not being consistently and evenhandedly administered by administrators. Administrators seem to makeup and change the rules as they go along.

That being said, most of the staff, have been very friendly and helpful at this school. Close Quote

This website is a joke and a disgrace! Unless you are involved in a school as a student, faculty, staff, parent and volunteer how can you rate it so low simply by the way it positions itself in test scores? This is one and only a small way to measure a schools success. I have had my oldest son attend Minor since K and he's now in 4th, my youngest is in 1st. My sons are lucky to go to Minor. No test can accurately measure the true growth of a student. I am involved and I can tell you that this school is #1 in the areas that most influence a child's love of learning. Take it from someone who knows- the students here are bright and respectful, they are performing extraordinarily well for their demographics, the teachers are amazing, and the leadership is strong and effective at the same time as being open and welcoming. Your child WILL receive a first rate education at Minor. Close Quote
