Summary

Moore Middle School in Lawrenceville, GA, serves about 971 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Gwinnett County School District, and it currently ranks in the bottom third of Georgia middle schools after a steady decline from the 51st percentile in 2021-2022 to the 30th percentile in 2025-2026.

One of the most striking findings is the gap between Moore's grade-level math scores and its advanced coursework results. In 2025-2026, only 28-37% of students scored proficient in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade math—well below district averages of 49-55%. Yet in Algebra I, 79.8% of students scored proficient, far exceeding both the district (57.6%) and state (48.1%) averages. This suggests the school excels at preparing a select group of students for advanced math, while many others struggle with grade-level content. The school also shows a significant gap compared to nearby Crews Middle School, just 2.35 miles away, where 73.7% of 6th graders are proficient in math—a 45-point difference. Social studies (25.3% vs. 51.5% district) and physical science (27.1% vs. 47.5% district) show similar shortfalls.

Chronic absenteeism is another key concern. Moore's rate of 19.0% exceeds both the district (15.0%) and state (17.7%) averages, and it's more than double Crews' rate of 3.9%. The good news is that absenteeism has improved from 25.1% in 2022-2023, and per-student spending has risen to $14,304—higher than several higher-performing nearby schools like Crews ($12,246) and Couch Middle School ($12,062). The school also maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 14.1. While Moore faces real challenges, the strong Algebra I results and improving attendance trends show that targeted support can make a difference. For parents, the key takeaway is that Moore offers a solid path for students who reach advanced coursework, but the school is still working to lift grade-level proficiency across the board.
