Summary:
Zip code 30039 in Snellville, Georgia, is served by eight schools within the Gwinnett County School District, including six elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school, educating roughly 8,235 students in a predominantly economically disadvantaged community.
For families, the standout is Partee Elementary School, which consistently outperforms its peers and the district in math and science despite serving a population where nearly 78% qualify for free/reduced lunch. Partee’s 3rd grade math proficiency (55.8%) is nearly double that of Norton Elementary School (34.9%) and Centerville Elementary School (34.8%), and its 5th grade science score (54.2%) is more than double Norton’s (23.7%). Shiloh Elementary School also performs well in 5th grade science (54.8%), while Anderson-Livsey Elementary School and Annistown Elementary School sit in the middle. At the secondary level, Shiloh Middle School excels in advanced math—87.6% of Algebra I students are proficient versus 57.6% districtwide—but its general math scores (32.6-36.6%) lag far behind district averages, suggesting a strong program for advanced students but struggles for the majority.
Shiloh High School is the area’s most improved school, jumping from the 31st to 53rd percentile in two years, with a graduation rate of 88.7% and gains of 7-10 points across Algebra I, Biology, and US History. However, its chronic absenteeism rate of 36.0% is more than double the district average (15.0%), a serious concern. Spending does not predict success—Shiloh Elementary spends the most per student ($17,392) but is mid-pack, while Partee spends less ($15,825) and achieves the best results. Lower student-teacher ratios generally align with stronger performance, and the wide gaps between schools serving similar demographics highlight that school leadership and instructional quality matter most.
