Roberts stands out for its exceptional academic results across the board. In math, proficiency rates range from 79.1% to 84.7% depending on grade level—roughly 30 percentage points above district averages and 35 points above state averages. Fifth-grade science proficiency hits 82.4%, compared to 54.8% district-wide and 44.2% statewide.

Roberts sits in an unusually competitive neighborhood of top-tier schools. Within a few miles, Level Creek Elementary School (ranked 7th), Suwanee Elementary School (17th), Johns Creek Elementary (11th), and Riverside Elementary School (26th) all rank in the top 40. While Roberts trails slightly behind Level Creek and Suwanee, its performance across every student subgroup—including 97th percentile for both male and female students—is rare. The school has also maintained strong scores even as its free/reduced lunch population nearly doubled over two years, suggesting its success reflects effective teaching, not just demographics. For parents seeking a well-rounded school with proven support for diverse learners, Roberts is an outstanding choice.

Open Quote Even though it is a brand new school and does not have sufficient test data for rating, it is a great school with with a wonderful principal and excellent teachers. They have a learners creed that the kids recite ever morning and it is all about college college college. With every passing year they have added more amenities , programs and the kids now have nooks to check out, AR programs, a great playground, well stocked library and lots of clubs to choose from.
The teachers are the asset and they give a lot of importance to education. Teaching is excellent. the principal DR. Jones is a great leader and has led this school to success. Having moved from level creek elementary, we were unhappy to be rezoned but could not be happier now. go bulldogs! This is going to be a top notch school very soon, if the continue this good work under this leadership. Close Quote
