Summary

Corley Elementary School is a public elementary school in Lawrenceville, Georgia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 1,093 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.

Corley Elementary School consistently underperforms compared to 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 percentage of 5th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts was 22.6% at Corley, compared to 48.8% in Gwinnett County and 43% statewide. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 511th out of 1,234 Georgia elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 927th out of 1,248 in 2023-2024, with a current ranking of 768th out of 1,238 in 2024-2025, placing it in the bottom half of elementary schools in the state. Additionally, Corley Elementary School has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 87.32% in 2022-2023 to 89.66% in 2023-2024, significantly higher than the state and district averages.

When comparing Corley Elementary School to nearby schools in the Gwinnett County district, it becomes evident that Corley is underperforming academically. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Bethesda Elementary School, located just 2.26 miles away, had significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to Corley. The relatively high student-teacher ratio at Corley Elementary School, ranging from 13 students per teacher in 2021-2022 to 12.1 students per teacher in 2023-2024, may suggest that the school is facing challenges in terms of staffing and resources, which could be contributing to the academic underperformance.
