Summary

Baggett Elementary School in Lawrenceville, GA, is a large PK-5 school in the Gwinnett County district, serving 1,019 students in a predominantly low-income community where 89% of families qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

The most striking thing about Baggett is its exceptional work with English Language Learners (ELL). The school earns a 4-star rating for ELL student performance, ranking in the 73rd percentile statewide—a remarkable achievement given the school's overall 2-star rating. This means Baggett has developed highly effective programs for these students, outperforming most schools in Georgia in this area. The school also earns 3-star ratings for its Hispanic and African American student subgroups, ranking in the 55th and 58th percentiles respectively. This is a school that clearly knows how to support diverse learners, even while overall proficiency lags behind district and state averages. Math is the biggest challenge, with proficiency rates around 35-36% across grades 3-5, well below the district's 51-57%. However, there's positive momentum: the school's state ranking jumped from the 35th to 42nd percentile this year, and 3rd and 5th grade math scores saw double-digit percentage point increases. Science is a relative bright spot, with 5th grade proficiency at 43.6%, nearly matching the state average.

One area of concern is chronic absenteeism. At 18.7%, Baggett's rate is more than double that of nearby Gwin Oaks Elementary (8.1%) and Jackson Elementary (8.2%), though it has improved significantly from 27.5% a few years ago. Interestingly, Baggett spends more per student ($15,197) than those higher-performing neighbors, suggesting the challenge isn't resources but rather addressing the high needs of its student population. For parents, this is a school with a clear strength in ELL support, a dedicated approach to improving math, and a community that's working hard to overcome attendance barriers—all signs of a school on an upward trajectory.
