Summary

Mulberry Elementary School in Auburn, GA, serves about 763 students in Pre-K through 5th grade as part of Gwinnett County Public Schools, and it has earned a 4-star rating for eight straight years while ranking in the 80th percentile statewide.

For parents, the headline is consistency: Mulberry’s math and science scores have regularly beaten both district and state averages by double digits. In the most recent testing year, 5th grade science proficiency hit 62.7%—a full 18.5 points above the state average—and 3rd grade math reached 63%, outpacing the state by 12 points. The school also stands out for its work with all students: it ranks in the 90th percentile statewide for African American students and the 87th percentile for Hispanic students, a genuine strength that sets it apart from many peers. Chronic absenteeism has dropped from 16.3% to 11.1% over two years, well below the district (15.0%) and state (17.7%) averages—a strong sign that kids are showing up ready to learn. One thing to note: Georgia’s current test release doesn’t include English Language Arts scores, so those results will come later this year.

Compared to nearby schools, Mulberry sits in a competitive middle spot. It outperforms Harbins Elementary School, Alcova Elementary School, and Dacula Elementary School, but trails top-tier neighbors like Puckett's Mill Elementary School and Duncan Creek Elementary. The gap is even wider across the county line: in 5th grade math, Mulberry’s 55.9% proficiency dwarfs Auburn Elementary School’s 28.8% in Barrow County. While Mulberry’s per-student spending ($15,978) is higher than some higher-ranked peers, its strong attendance and equity-focused results make it a reliable, quality choice for families.
