Summary

Taylor Elementary School in Lawrenceville, GA, is a mid-sized public school in the Gwinnett County district serving 883 students in grades PK through 5, with a strong overall record that places it in the 79th percentile of Georgia elementary schools.

Taylor stands out for its exceptional work with specific student groups. The school ranks in the 91st percentile for African American students and the 88th percentile for Hispanic students, earning 5-star ratings for both groups. It also performs very well with English Language Learners, ranking in the 87th percentile. Early-grade math is a clear strength: 3rd graders hit a 67.5% proficiency rate and 4th graders reached 65.5%, both well above district and state averages. The school also keeps chronic absenteeism remarkably low at 10.6%, far better than the district’s 15.0% and the state’s 17.7%, a trend that has held for five straight years. Overall, Taylor has been improving, moving from 338th in the state two years ago to 252nd this year.

There are a couple of areas worth noting. Math proficiency drops sharply by 5th grade, falling to 44.6%—below the district average of 51.6%—even though 5th-grade science remains strong at 57.6%. This “5th-grade slide” appears specific to math, not a general decline. Also, while Taylor outperforms nearby Jenkins Elementary, McKendree Elementary, and Rock Springs Elementary, it trails higher-ranked neighbors like Suwanee Elementary (99th percentile) and Freeman's Mill Elementary (90th percentile). For parents, Taylor offers a stable, engaging environment with standout early math and strong support for diverse learners, though 5th-grade math and special education services (53rd percentile) may be worth a closer look.

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
