Summary:
Zip code 30039 in Snellville, Georgia, is home to one middle school, Shiloh Middle School, which serves grades 6 through 8 and enrolls approximately 1,592 students within the Gwinnett County school district.
Shiloh Middle School presents a mixed picture for parents to consider. The school’s standout strength is its Algebra I program, where 87.6% of students scored proficient or above—a remarkable 30 percentage points higher than the district average and nearly 40 points above the state. This suggests the school successfully identifies and accelerates a group of high-achieving math students. However, grade-level math proficiency is a different story: only about one-third of students in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade meet state standards, which is roughly 15–20 points below district averages. The school also struggles significantly in 8th-grade physical science, where just 21.7% of students are proficient, compared to 60.9% statewide. On a positive note, Shiloh showed strong year-over-year improvement in 6th and 7th grade math (gains of about 7 points each) and 8th grade social studies (up 6.7 points), indicating recent instructional efforts may be gaining traction.
With 78% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, Shiloh serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, yet its chronic absenteeism rate (14.9%) matches the district average and beats the state average. The school spends a solid $13,766 per student and maintains a favorable 13.8:1 student-teacher ratio. Despite these resources and improved test scores, Shiloh’s statewide ranking has slipped from the 45th to the 39th percentile over three years, suggesting other Georgia schools are improving faster. The school holds a consistent 2-star rating. English Language Arts scores were not included in this release and will arrive in December, so parents should wait for that data to get a complete academic picture.
