Summary

Berkmar Middle School in Lilburn, GA, serves approximately 1,039 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Gwinnett County School District, with a very high economic need population (92% free/reduced lunch) and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.9:1.

The most striking feature of Berkmar Middle is its exceptional performance in advanced coursework. In the most recent testing year, 91.4% of students taking Algebra I scored proficient or better—compared to 57.6% district-wide and 48.1% statewide—and 85.4% scored proficient in Biology, versus roughly 50% for both the district and state. These results actually rival or exceed those at higher-ranked nearby schools like Duluth Middle School and Five Forks Middle School. However, grade-level math proficiency tells a very different story: only about 25-31% of 6th, 7th, and 8th graders scored proficient, roughly half the district average. This creates a stark internal contrast—advanced students outperform state averages by 40+ points, while students in standard math classes trail by 15-20 points. The school also shows strong improvement in chronic absenteeism, dropping from 18.2% to 10.5% over two years—now better than the district (15.0%) and state (17.7%) averages, and comparable to Trickum Middle School (10.4%).

Berkmar spends $15,519 per student—the second-highest among comparable schools, behind only Tucker Middle School—yet its overall state ranking has declined from the 55th percentile in 2016-2017 to the 26th percentile today (1-star rating). By contrast, Five Forks Middle spends $2,540 less per student and ranks in the 86th percentile. Subgroup results show notable variation: African American students rank in the 57th percentile statewide (the school's strongest subgroup), while Asian students rank in the 12th and Hispanic students in the 16th percentile. The school's success with advanced coursework and improving attendance suggests that when students are placed in rigorous classes, they can achieve at very high levels—pointing to potential for expanding access to those opportunities while strengthening foundational math skills for the broader student population.
