Summary

Meadowcreek Elementary School in Norcross, GA, serves approximately 806 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Gwinnett County school district, which ranks in the top third of districts statewide. The school has shown remarkable momentum recently, jumping from the 8th percentile to the 23rd percentile in statewide rankings—a 15-point improvement that was the largest among all nearby schools. While the school still trails many of its neighbors, this upward trajectory is backed by strong gains in math and science, along with a significant drop in chronic absenteeism.

The most encouraging news for parents is the school's dramatic academic progress. In mathematics, proficiency rose across every grade level, with 5th graders improving by nearly 11 percentage points—the biggest single-year gain among comparable schools. Science scores also jumped by almost 12 points, and notably, 5th grade science proficiency (31%) now actually exceeds math proficiency (28.1%), suggesting a real strength in that subject. The school also excels with its African American students, ranking in the 58th percentile statewide for that subgroup—far above the school's overall ranking. Chronic absenteeism has fallen from 27% to 18.1% over three years, now sitting just above the state average, which likely supports the academic gains. The school invests heavily in its students, spending $17,017 per pupil—more than any nearby school—and maintaining a favorable 11:1 student-teacher ratio.

Compared to Beaver Ridge Elementary, located less than a mile away, Meadowcreek serves a higher-poverty population (93.8% free/reduced lunch) and ranks lower overall (23rd vs. 39th percentile). However, Meadowcreek's improvement rate is accelerating faster, suggesting it may close that gap. The school also outperforms Rockbridge Elementary (19th percentile) and Baldwin Elementary (15th percentile). One area to watch is reading—the most recent ELA data showed only 11.9% proficiency, though new results arrive in December. Given the strong math and science gains, many parents may find this school's upward trend worth monitoring closely.

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
