Summary

Jenkins Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Lawrenceville, Georgia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 745 students. The school is part of the Gwinnett County School District, which is ranked 67 out of 206 districts in Georgia and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite having comparable spending per student and student-teacher ratios to nearby schools, Jenkins Elementary School has consistently ranked in the lower half of Georgia elementary schools, with its performance on the Milestones Assessment falling below the Gwinnett County and Georgia state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of 5th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts (32%) and Mathematics (25.8%) was significantly lower than the Gwinnett County (48.8% and 49.4%) and Georgia state (43% and 42.6%) averages.

The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 83.16% to 86.71% in recent years, suggests a significant concentration of poverty within the student population. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the school's academic challenges and could require targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of the students. While the school's resource allocation may not be the primary driver of its performance, a deeper examination of instructional practices, curriculum, and other factors may be necessary to improve academic outcomes at Jenkins Elementary School.

What people are saying

by a parent
Wednesday, January 10, 2018

If you have a child with a learning disabilityDO NOT come to the Gwinnett County School District. Their approach and unwillingness to initiate individualized strategies will have your struggling student left behind. Furthermore, the school and distict has a CLOSED DOOR unwritten ploicy. Most district employees will not call you back and is almost impossible to get anyone at the district to actually meet with you. Parent perspctive's are dismissed. They focus more on less intervention which probalbly keeps down cost, while they dont have staff that are trained out side of the district Special Eduction training. No one cares enough at this district to help your child, they will decrease interventions by duration and frequncy while not being trained in new strategies is just a loss to the child. IF YOUR CHILD HAS A LEARNING DIABILITY DO NOT COME TO THIS SCHOOL DISTRICT, YOU WILL BE ON YOUR OWN! Even the Parent Liason that works for the district recommened "Going outside the district to get help for your child, as she did" Close Quote
