Summary

Jenkins Elementary School in Lawrenceville, GA, serves approximately 775 students in grades PK-5 as part of Gwinnett County Public Schools, a district ranked in the upper third of Georgia districts.

Jenkins currently holds a 2-star state rating, placing it in the 41st percentile of Georgia elementary schools—a decline from its 4-star rating a decade ago. The school serves a predominantly low-income population, with about 83% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite this overall trend, Jenkins shows notable strengths with specific student groups. The school ranks in the 80th percentile statewide for African American students and the 67th percentile for English Language Learners—both well above its overall ranking. This suggests that certain instructional approaches are working effectively for these populations. The school also maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.6:1 and has increased per-student spending to $15,476, which is higher than some nearby schools like Alcova Elementary ($13,701) and Dyer Elementary ($14,655).

Mathematics remains the biggest challenge. Proficiency rates in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades (37.3%, 42.6%, and 35.3%) trail district averages by 10 to 16 percentage points, with the gap widening in upper grades. Science performance in 5th grade (35.3%) also sits well below the district average of 54.8%. Chronic absenteeism has improved significantly, dropping from 25.3% to 18.6% over two years, though it remains higher than nearby Dyer Elementary (7.2%) and Lovin Elementary (8.2%). When comparing schools nearby, Taylor Elementary (79th percentile) and Dyer Elementary (89th percentile) achieve far stronger results, while Lawrenceville Elementary (30th percentile) and Simonton Elementary (35th percentile) perform below Jenkins. The school's clear success with specific student groups suggests effective practices exist that could be expanded to benefit all learners.

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
