Summary

Bay Creek Middle School in Grayson, GA, serves 1,510 students in grades 6–8 and is part of Gwinnett County Public Schools, a district ranked in the top third of Georgia districts. The school has consistently ranked among the top 100 middle schools in the state, currently placing 95th out of 578 schools (84th percentile, 4 stars), and has earned 5-star ratings for three consecutive years prior to this most recent release.

Bay Creek stands out for its exceptional performance in advanced coursework. In 2025–2026, the school achieved 100% proficiency on both the Algebra I and Biology End-of-Course assessments—roughly double the district and state averages. Grade-level math scores are also strong, with 8th-grade math proficiency at 74.4%, nearly 30 points above the state average and a significant improvement from 49.8% three years ago. The school also excels in social studies, with 64% proficiency in 8th grade compared to 40.2% statewide. Chronic absenteeism is remarkably low at 7.8%, less than half the district rate of 15.0%, indicating a strong culture of attendance and engagement. Bay Creek is particularly effective with diverse student groups, ranking in the top 15–20% statewide for African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Special Education students.

Compared to nearby schools, Bay Creek outperforms most within a six-mile radius by wide margins. For example, Snellville Middle School (3.6 miles away) has 6th-grade math proficiency of just 24.8%, while Bay Creek's is 60.2%. However, two peers—Crews Middle School and Five Forks Middle School—rank slightly higher, though the gap is modest. Notably, Bay Creek achieves these results while serving a majority low-income population (59% free/reduced lunch) and spending less per student ($12,802) than several lower-performing nearby schools, such as Jordan Middle School ($15,947) and Moore Middle School ($14,304). This combination of strong outcomes, low absenteeism, and efficient resource use makes Bay Creek a standout choice in the area.
