Summary

Ferguson Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Duluth, Georgia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 838 students. The school is part of the Gwinnett County School District, which is ranked 67th out of 206 districts in Georgia and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Ferguson Elementary School is part of a relatively high-performing district, the school itself has consistently underperformed compared to the Gwinnett County and Georgia state averages on the Milestones Assessment. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science were significantly lower than the county and state averages across all grade levels. Additionally, Ferguson Elementary School has been ranked in the bottom half of Georgia elementary schools for the past several years, with a ranking between 809 and 902 out of 1,200-1,250 schools, indicating a relative decline in performance compared to other schools in the state.

One factor that may contribute to the school's academic challenges is its high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 79.98% to 84.84% in recent years. This is significantly higher than the nearby schools, such as Harris Elementary, Bethesda Elementary, and Mason Elementary, which have rates ranging from 48.27% to 91.31%.

Gwinnett has invested a lot into its schools. This school has some issues with discipline. The makeup of the school is mostly Blacks and Hispanics, vastly minority. Multicultural with some language barriers. Discipline starts at home....(parents)not the teachers to discipline your child. Lots of fighting. Teachers are having to address multiples issues which interrupts the learning time of others. Teachers are prepared with lesson plans but it seem some are stressed just dealing with all the interruption that continue on a daily basis. Some parents are just ghetto. Don't get involve with their child's education and just don't have no clue what's going on. The school gives out lots of important information for students to take home to parents and most of the literature doesn't get read or make it home for that matter. The school has behavior programs but some of the students are just very loud and not attentive. You have your all-star basketball and football wannabes. Plus your rap artist not knowing that in order to succeed you need an education. If you truly want to be something when you grow up, you need an education. There needs to be strong parent involvement for this school be a great school. Teacher and administrators can only do so much because parents are quick to point a finger to blame teachers than to see their faults in raising their children. Close Quote
