Summary

Jordan Middle School in Lawrenceville, GA, serves 757 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Gwinnett County School District, and it has become a standout example of steady improvement despite serving a high-need community where 83% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Over the past five years, Jordan Middle has climbed from the 28th percentile statewide to the 63rd percentile—a remarkable 35-point jump that has moved the school from a 1-star to a 3-star rating. The most impressive highlight is its work with English Language Learners: the school ranks 7th out of 166 schools statewide for ELL performance, earning a 5-star rating and placing it in the 96th percentile. Algebra I results are equally striking, with 100% of tested students scoring proficient or better in 2025-2026, compared to 57.6% district-wide and 48.1% statewide. African American and Hispanic students also perform above the school's overall average relative to their peers, ranking in the 81st and 79th percentiles respectively. The school invests more per student ($15,947) than any nearby middle school and maintains a lower student-teacher ratio of 12.8:1, which likely supports these gains. Chronic absenteeism has also dropped dramatically, from 27.9% in 2023-2024 to 16.9% in 2025-2026—now below the state average.

Compared to nearby schools with similar poverty levels, Jordan Middle outperforms Moore Middle (30th percentile) and Richards Middle (35th percentile). However, it trails schools with lower poverty rates like Crews Middle (89th percentile) and Bay Creek Middle (84th percentile). Areas for continued growth include standard grade-level math proficiency (40-50% proficient), special education outcomes (36th percentile), and performance for White students (35th percentile). There is also a notable gender gap, with female students ranking in the 69th percentile versus 52nd for males. Still, the overall trajectory is decidedly positive—Jordan Middle is a school on the rise, proving that targeted support and effective instruction can drive meaningful improvement even in challenging circumstances.
