Summary

Stripling Elementary School is a public elementary school in Norcross, Georgia, serving 798 students in grades PK-5. 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 per-student spending of $11,379 and lower student-teacher ratio ranging from 11 to 12.4 students per teacher, Stripling Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the Gwinnett County and Georgia state averages in academic assessments. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 16.8% of 3rd graders, 21.4% of 4th graders, and 15% of 5th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 38.7%, 43.3%, and 48.8% for Gwinnett County, respectively. Additionally, Stripling Elementary has a very high percentage of students, ranging from 84.12% to 84.84%, receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which is significantly higher than the surrounding schools in the district.

When comparing Stripling Elementary to other nearby schools in the Gwinnett County and DeKalb County districts, the school consistently ranks lower in academic performance and overall school quality metrics. This suggests that the challenges faced by Stripling Elementary are not unique to the school itself but may be reflective of broader systemic issues within the region.

There are some amazing teachers at Stripling that really care about the students. Dr. Bryson is a wonderful 5th grade teacher, and she challenges her students to go beyond the basics. My son was an average student, and through her leadership, he has finally started reaching his full potential, because she motivates and excites him as a learner. Rankings and Ratings don't always capture those extraordinary teachers who go above and beyond. Close Quote
