Summary

Grace Snell Middle School in Loganville, GA, serves approximately 1,231 students in grades 6–8 within the Gwinnett County School District, where about 72.5% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. The school’s overall state ranking has been relatively flat over the past decade, hovering in the 45th–50th percentile range in recent years, with a slight dip to the 45th percentile (2 stars) in 2025-2026.

The school’s most striking academic strength is its Algebra I End-of-Course proficiency rate: in 2025-2026, 95% of tested students scored proficient or better, compared to 57.6% district-wide and 48.1% statewide. This represents a remarkable climb from 45.1% in 2022-2023 and places Grace Snell among top performers, comparable to nearby Crews Middle School (100%) and Bay Creek Middle School (100%), and well above Snellville Middle School (85.4%). However, grade-level math proficiency tells a different story—only 31% of 6th graders, 38.4% of 7th graders, and 38.6% of 8th graders scored proficient, roughly 15–17 points below district averages. This suggests the school is effectively accelerating a select group of students into advanced coursework while many students in standard math classes struggle. Additionally, the school reports 0% proficiency in 8th-grade Science for recent years, though this appears to be a data reporting issue rather than a true reflection of performance.

Grace Snell also stands out for its strong attendance culture: only 12.0% of students were chronically absent in 2025-2026, compared to 15.0% district-wide and 17.7% statewide—a pattern held for five consecutive years and better than nearby schools like Richards Middle School (13.5%) and Shiloh Middle School (14.9%). The school also demonstrates strong outcomes for its African American students, who rank in the 75th percentile statewide. However, Hispanic students rank in the 27th percentile and Special Education students in the 22nd percentile, representing clear areas for targeted support. With a stable 15:1 student-teacher ratio and per-pupil spending of $12,900—mid-range compared to peers—Grace Snell has a solid foundation, but its flat overall trajectory suggests the challenge lies in extending its Algebra I success to the wider student population.
