Summary

Meadowcreek Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Norcross, Georgia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 852 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.

Despite the school's higher spending per student ($10,525 in 2018-2019) compared to nearby schools, Meadowcreek Elementary consistently underperforms academically. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 15.3% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 38.7% in Gwinnett County and 34.9% statewide. The school has been ranked in the bottom quarter of Georgia elementary schools for the past several years, with a ranking of 1136 out of 1238 schools in the 2024-2025 school year, and a consistent 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger. This persistent underperformance suggests a need for a comprehensive review of the school's educational practices, resources, and leadership.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Gwinnett County district, such as Corley Elementary, Norcross Elementary, and Chesney Elementary, generally outperform Meadowcreek Elementary in academic measures, despite serving similar student populations. Additionally, Meadowcreek Elementary has an exceptionally high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, over 90% in recent years, indicating a high-poverty student population that may require targeted interventions and support services to help these students succeed.

I don’t like how the school operates, teachers are more helpful with the Hispanics students, children education have been slowing down because teachers are having to teach the other foreign students in Spanish and/or slowly Close Quote
