Summary

Moore Middle School is a public middle school located in Lawrenceville, Georgia, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 936 students. It 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 the school's relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $8,222 to $9,666 in recent years, and smaller class sizes with a student-teacher ratio of 13.6 to 15.0, Moore Middle School has consistently underperformed compared to the Gwinnett County and Georgia state averages in standardized test scores across multiple subject areas and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts ranged from 26.8% to 30.7%, compared to 46.9% to 49.4% for Gwinnett County and 39.8% to 41.3% for Georgia. Similarly, in Mathematics, the proficiency rates at Moore Middle School ranged from 21.7% to 42.7%, while the Gwinnett County and Georgia averages were significantly higher.

The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Moore Middle School, ranging from 77.64% to 86% in recent years, indicates that the school serves a predominantly low-income population. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the school's academic challenges, which are not being effectively addressed despite the relatively high per-student spending and smaller class sizes. Further investigation into the school's instructional practices, resource allocation, and strategies for supporting its high-needs student population may be necessary to identify and address the root causes of the school's consistent underperformance.
