Summary

Peachtree Ridge High School is a large, comprehensive public high school in Suwanee, GA, serving 3,155 students in grades 9-12 within the Gwinnett County School District.

Peachtree Ridge’s standout strengths are its graduation and dropout rates. The school’s 94.8% graduation rate for 2024-2025 far exceeds the district (85.4%) and state (87.2%) averages, and it has outperformed both benchmarks for five consecutive years. Its dropout rate of 0.9% is also dramatically lower than district (2.8%) and state (2.4%) averages. In addition, the school excels in Biology, with 55.1% of students scoring proficient—above both district and state averages—and it has maintained this edge for four years. Peachtree Ridge also earns a 4-star rating for its work with English Language Learners, ranking in the 82nd percentile statewide for that subgroup. These achievements are notable given the school’s per-student spending of $11,954, which is lower than nearby schools like Lanier High School ($13,294) and Discovery High School ($13,488).

However, the school faces clear challenges. Its overall state ranking has declined steadily over the past seven years, from 34th (92nd percentile) in 2017-2018 to 143rd (69th percentile) for 2025-2026, dropping its star rating from 5 to 3. Algebra I proficiency is a persistent weakness—only 36.4% of students scored proficient in 2025-2026, compared to 57.6% for the district and 48.1% for the state. Chronic absenteeism (19.7%) also runs above the district (15.0%) and state (17.7%) averages, though it has improved from 23.2% the prior year. When compared to nearby schools, Peachtree Ridge sits in a middle position: it outperforms McClure Health Science High School (ranked 240th) and Duluth High School (198th), but trails North Gwinnett High School (26th) and Gwinnett School of Mathematics, Science and Technology (1st). The school’s strong graduation rates and Biology performance suggest a solid foundation, but targeted work in math and attendance will be key to reversing the ranking trend.

My boys go to this high school and I can only say great things about the school. The principal is very engaged and very focused on the Standard of Excellence to improve from year to year. The Advanced Placement program offerings are AWESOME! The teachers are passionate about the material and about the students mastering the material. The school has many many clubs and athletic opportunities so there is something for everyone if you choose to be involved. The school is highly ranked in the state and a great springboard for success in college. Close Quote

Great school with positive trends. Principle is very active, as opposed to most of the time kids not even knowing who their principle is. Close Quote
