Summary

Anderson-Livsey Elementary School in Snellville, GA, serves about 678 students in grades PK-5 as part of Gwinnett County Public Schools, and it has become a standout example of steady, impressive improvement in recent years.

The school has climbed from the 46th percentile statewide in 2023-2024 to the 60th percentile in 2025-2026, earning a 3-star rating—its best performance in a decade. This upward trend is especially notable given that 83% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. One of the most striking strengths is how well the school serves its diverse student body: African American students rank in the 84th percentile statewide and Hispanic students in the 77th percentile, both earning 4-star ratings. That means these groups are performing significantly better than the school’s overall ranking would suggest. The school also made dramatic progress on attendance, cutting chronic absenteeism from 25.8% in 2022-2023 to 13.8% in 2025-2026—now better than both the district (15.0%) and state (17.7%) averages. In third-grade math, 51.1% of students scored proficient, beating the state average of 48.3% and nearly matching the district’s 53.5%.

Compared to nearby schools, Anderson-Livsey is clearly on the rise. It now outperforms Norton Elementary by 39 percentile points, even though both serve similar poverty levels, and it has surged past Centerville Elementary, which has stayed stagnant. It also beats Shiloh Elementary in third-grade math (51.1% vs. 36.2%). The contrast with nearby DeKalb County schools like Princeton Elementary and Pine Ridge Elementary is stark—Anderson-Livsey outperforms them by 50+ percentile points while spending less per student. Fifth-grade science (45%) is an area for growth, trailing the district average of 54.8%, but overall this is a school that’s proving high-poverty schools can achieve strong results.

Open Quote This school is something else the principal and vice principal think they are being strick but I think its unnecessary how they punish the kids every thing no matter how simple they suspend kids and give referrals kids cant be kids it's like they want kids to be perfect come on ... my son is talkative and was given a referral for talking in class kmt really he did not fight or hurt anyone they are too serious when it's not that necessary and the teachers seems bored and behind I wish I had options this school is a pain .

Open Quote This school is a disappointment to the community. It’s a 5 year old school and the state score is 66%, the city/county rank is 74/77 and the county has gotten involved for improvement. I am truly disappointed that it has gotten to this level. What will it take for Gwinnett County Public School to change the Leadership in this school? It is not fair for the children, parents and staff at this school to continue with a failing school. Can we get a veteran principal that can get this school back in the green? Call the county ask about there weekly visits. Its time for a change we are waiting on you GCPS.
