Summary:

Zip code 30039 in Snellville, Georgia, is home to six elementary schools—Norton Elementary School, Partee Elementary School, Shiloh Elementary School, Annistown Elementary School, Anderson-Livsey Elementary School, and Centerville Elementary School—all serving grades PK-5 within the Gwinnett County School District, a district ranked in the 67th percentile statewide.

Partee Elementary stands out as the clear top performer, ranking 373rd in the state (69th percentile) with a 3-star rating—the only school in the area to earn that distinction this year. It leads the zip code in 3rd grade math (55.8% proficiency) and 5th grade science (54.2%), and its prior-year 5th grade ELA scores (53.6%) exceeded both district and state averages. Anderson-Livsey Elementary is the most improved, jumping from the 46th to 60th percentile over three years, now exceeding state averages in 3rd grade math. Shiloh Elementary also earns a 3-star rating, showing strong 4th and 5th grade math scores (55.3% and 50.0%) despite weaker 3rd grade performance. At the other end, Norton Elementary has declined sharply, falling from the 49th to 21st percentile and dropping to a 1-star rating, with 5th grade math proficiency at just 26.2%.

Chronic absenteeism closely tracks performance: Norton has the highest rate (17.0%) and lowest scores, while Partee (12.1%) and Annistown (11.9%) have the lowest absenteeism and better outcomes. Notably, per-student spending shows no clear relationship with results—Shiloh spends the most ($17,392) yet ranks mid-pack, while Norton spends the least ($14,467) and ranks last. All six schools serve predominantly low-income populations (free/reduced lunch rates between 77.8% and 83.3%), yet Partee proves high achievement is possible in this context. Most schools in this zip code fall below district averages in math, and the gap between the top and bottom performers is substantial—Partee's 5th grade math proficiency (48.6%) is nearly double Norton's (26.2%). Families should weigh these performance differences alongside attendance patterns and resource allocation when choosing a school.
