Summary

Taylor Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Lawrenceville, Georgia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 866 students. The school is part of the Gwinnett County School District, which is ranked 67th out of 206 districts in Georgia and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Taylor Elementary School consistently performs above 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, the school's 5th-grade students scored 52.5% proficient or better in ELA, compared to 48.8% for Gwinnett County and 43% for the state. The school has maintained a strong statewide ranking, placing in the top 20% of Georgia elementary schools for the past several years, and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Additionally, Taylor Elementary School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.4 to 14 students per teacher over the past few years, which is lower than the nearby schools.

When compared to the nearby schools, such as Freeman's Mill Elementary and Suwanee Elementary, Taylor Elementary School generally outperforms the majority of them in academic achievement, particularly in the Milestones Assessments. However, the school has seen an increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 54.3% in 2022-2023 to 63.39% in 2023-2024, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. This may present both challenges and opportunities for the school to address the unique needs of its diverse student population.

I have four children in this school district and I love our community. In my experience, the strengths are the cultural diversity, fine arts, STEM opportunities and overall care from staff and teachers. The areas of growth would be support for children with learning disabilities. Overall Gwinnett county schools are among the best in the state of GA and your children can get a great education at Taylor. Close Quote

The teachers here are the worst communicators that i have ever seen. They treat the students as if they are grown ups expecting too much from little children. Close Quote

The teachers are great and try very hard to meet the needs of their students. But Mrs. Cobb and the rest of the administration are bringing this place down. It used to be a good school. Now the bullies get away with harassing their victims, special needs students' needs are not being met, and parents are told that they are overly dramatic and causing a bit deal over nothing... when all we want is for our children to BE safe at school, to go to school each day without being afraid, and for the school to do what is required in a child's IEP to get them the education they need.

The school principal and other staff in charge have been consistently rude and overbearing to parents, don't support their teachers in classroom discipline issues, and in general are terrible at managing the school. The overall school environment is stressful and not a loving, caring place for the children and families. If I could afford to move or chose private school I would. Close Quote
