Summary

Cedar Hill Elementary School in Lawrenceville, GA, serves approximately 896 students in grades PK through 5 as part of the Gwinnett County School District, with 82% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. The school currently holds a 2-star state rating, ranking in the 37th percentile of Georgia elementary schools—a slight dip from last year but an improvement over its 1-star rating two years ago.

Academically, Cedar Hill trails district and state averages in math and science by roughly 13 to 24 percentage points. For example, only 29.2% of 3rd graders met math proficiency standards, compared to 53.5% districtwide. The contrast with nearby schools is striking: Craig Elementary School (1.7 miles away) and Brookwood Elementary School (3.4 miles away) both earn 5-star ratings with math proficiency rates above 70%—more than double Cedar Hill’s. Even schools with similar poverty levels, like Kanoheda Elementary School and Alford Elementary, outperform Cedar Hill, suggesting factors beyond economic disadvantage are at play. The school’s special education students face the biggest challenges, ranking in the 7th percentile statewide.

There are encouraging signs, however. Chronic absenteeism has dropped from 21.2% to 14.1% over four years—now below both district and state averages. Fourth-grade math showed notable improvement, reaching 43.7% proficiency, the school’s strongest subject-area result. Cedar Hill also spends $16,419 per student, among the highest in the area, and maintains a favorable 12.1:1 student-teacher ratio. While the school has room to grow, its improving attendance and pockets of academic progress offer a foundation for future gains.

Too many terrible teachers Close Quote

by a parent
Monday, January 30, 2017

Hateful spiteful School the staff absolutely cares more about themselves than their your students on any day! They do not do a good job teaching they do not ensure that every child is learning with their supposed to be learning and with all the standardized testing there is no retention of information there's just pushing them through the system and I am terribly worried about the education that my children are getting. The students are basically condoned to bully one another to speak nasty sexual things to get into fights the bus drivers most of them look like meth heads or jerks or ex-cons another one that picked my son up almost hit my car speeding around the corner one afternoon I do not trust her with my child I hate this school I hate having to send my child to this school all the teachers are nasty and should not be in this position none of them not one.

Cedar Hill an excellent school. I think there has been a lot of bad hype, but I encourage parents to try Cedar Hill for themselves, and form your own opinions. One parent's/child's bad experience may not always be the school's fault, no matter what that parent may lead you to believe. Close Quote
